The Creators
Who Are We...
Marlene Kamal
Founder & Author
I AM a Latina, a wife, a mom to two inspiring preschoolers and one more coming in 2024. I have an M.A. in Educational Leadership and have worked in the early childhood field for over 15 years as an enthusiastic, innovative bilingual early childhood educator, advocate and now author of bilingual children's books.
Children have always inspired me. Observing them in their brightest authentic light has inspired me to create books with a message for both children and their parents. I have always felt the importance of creating spaces to reconnect with our own inner child so WE can open our HEARTS to the magic in our children’s eyes. My greatest struggle growing up was dyslexia and ADHD. My greatest blessing today is being used to write books for children that inspire connections between children and their parents.

"Colors Within Me"
I AM Liuba Syrotiuk a freelance children’s illustrator and artist in Kyiv, Ukraine. Studied architecture at National Aviation University and worked for a few years as an interior designer. My biggest passion is watercolor, traveling all around the world with a small box of watercolors makes me the happiest. The nostalgia of childhood innocence inspires me to create the most memorable illustrations for books.
