Thank you Heather!! 🩵🩵🫔
My friend’s book is such a joyful expression of family and culture. It has been the perfect gift for little ones in my life. Highly recommend for your Christmas lists!
My children’s book, The Last Tamale, was illustrated by the incredible Teresa Martinez. The book features a chihuahua named Pearl, who happens to be my actual dog! She captured Pearl's essence perfectly 😁🫔🫔 #childrensbook #picturebook #kidlit #tamales #author

Hi Bluesky! I’m Orlando, a Mexican-American author of my first children’s book, The Last Tamale. It tells the story of three kids who compete in a hilarious battle for the last tamale during their family’s tamalada. Excited to be here 💙 #kidlit #childrensbook #latinxauthor @harperkids.bsky.social
