Sandra Alonso Born in Zamora on 9 April 1993, she remembers spending hours as a child at her grandparents' house trying to find ""Where's Wally"" and reading ""Teo at School"". But it was not until later on that she found her vocation as a writer. It was always clear to her that she wanted to be an Early Childhood Education teacher, and her dream came true at the age of 22 with a specialization in Special Education. The subject of ""Children's Literature"" made her understand the importance of reading in childhood, and this idea took shape in 2015 with the creation of ""My Children's Stories,"" where she shares her understanding of children's literature with the world. What began as an idea in the making became a project to promote reading, to which she also contributed with her writings. And so, in December 2018, her story as an author began, and she has now published eight books that have enriched her biography as a children's author.
