This is not your typical story. With a hopeful beginning and a shatteringly beautiful end. This is your story. This is your thoughts in a book. ... With this collection of poems, poetry slams and short stories I have written down what circulates in the mind of every young individual. Questions. Being free. And of course: Love.

Along the lines, you will find music that you can access, to guide your experience or audios to use as a soundscape. The intention of this book is not to distract from reality, but to encapsulate it. To reflect and pause, in order to apply. Welcome! I applaud you for going on this journey, buckle up...

A story about the coincidences of life, fate and the secrets of the universe.
A draft from adrift is a collection of poems floating around, like thoughts, memos, memories saved in the notes app. Poems about grief, longing, madness, loneliness, and love. A landscape exploring the depths of what it means to be a human being.
The space between us, once warm and fuzzy and full of our emotions, turned cold, as soon as I entered the bus that took me away from you. Now it is just grey and full of all these unspoken words that I wish I had said. Maybe goodbye letters can bridge this space. Maybe they just make leaving hurt a little less.
Justice Sonia Sotomayor and award-winning artist Rafael Lopez create a kind and caring book about the differences that make each of us unique. A #1 New York Times bestseller! Winner of the Schneider Family Book Award! Feeling different, especially as a kid, can be tough. But in the same way that different types of plants and flowers make a garden more beautiful and enjoyable, different types of people make our world more vibrant and wonderful. In Just Ask, United States Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor celebrates the different abilities kids (and people of all ages) have. Using her own experience as a child who was diagnosed with diabetes, Justice Sotomayor writes about children with all sorts of challenges--and looks at the special powers those kids have as well. As the kids work together to build a community garden, asking questions of each other along the way, this book encourages readers to do the same: When we come across someone who is different from us but we're not sure why, all we have to do is Just Ask. Praise for Just Ask: * "Addressing topics too often ignored, this picture book presents information in a direct and wonderfully child-friendly way." --Booklist, *STARRED REVIEW* "An affirmative, delightfully diverse overview of disabilities." --Kirkus Reviews "A hopeful and sunny exploration of the many things that make us unique [with] dynamic and vibrant illustrations [that] emphasize each character’s unique abilities. . . . A thoughtful and empathetic story of inclusion." --SLJ
