About The Book
Seré la luna es una historia de inmigración inspiradora acerca de la valentía y la distancia que recorremos para estar con nuestros seres queridos.
Bajo la inspiración y guía lunar, la niñe y su madre emprenden el viaje hacia al norte para reunirse con su padre, mientras evocan su hogar y abuela en su pueblo natal. En el camino hacia sus sueños, la luna les brinda claridad y un rumbo seguro.
Con vibrantes y evocadoras palabras de Phillip D. Cortez y cautivadoras ilustraciones de Mafs Rodríguez Alpide, Seré la luna nos sumerge en un mundo donde la luna desvanece la oscuridad y nos guía con ternura hacia aquellos a que amamos.

Cortez still loves to read and, with his wife, Patty, is now fascinated by the many stories told by their four children: Ivan, Cameron, Ava, and Zoe. He lives in El Paso, Texas, with his family.
