I've always been intrigued by stories whether it was told to me or read to me as a child. During my adolescence, I didn’t know how to access them or where to find books— until a neighbor introduced me to the world of books and the neighborhood library. That moment transported me to another place entirely.

Since then, I’ve often wondered what it would be like to write my own stories and how it would feel to bring my ideas to life. Despite facing language barriers and lacking resources, I never gave up on my dream.

Although writing children's stories wasn’t the genre I originally aspired to, it became a delightful challenge to create my own tales instead of simply reading books to my grandkids. Once I started, I couldn’t stop—it was fun, inspiring, and eye-opening.

"You Don't Know Where It's Been" was born during one of those storytelling moments. I hope these stories will spark imagination and open young minds to endless possibilities.
