Yay!! My historical fiction picture book, Piece by Piece: Ernestine’s Gift for President Roosevelt, with awesome illustrations by Anna Lopez Real is now out. Published by Millbrook, it is a touching story of a Mexican-American girl from San Antonio, TX, who created a beautiful clock case out of discarded food-relief crates during the Great Depression. The clock case is still on display at the FDR Museum in Hyde, New York. The book can now be bought at Amazon or any local bookstore.
