Her first book, "Why Is Everyone Wearing a Mask? / Por Que Todo Mundo Está Usando Máscara?" is a Bilingual Book written in English, Spanish and Portuguese. She wrote this book during the pandemic in 2020 to inform children and bring a bright perspective of the situation about wearing face masks.
Her second book, "A STEMtastic Box" is a Bilingual Book written in English and Portuguese that empowers young girls in STEM.
It is the first book in the “A STEMtastic World” series. Kate, the main character, is inspired by Katherine Johnson, an African American mathematician who worked for NASA in the 1980s and helped to land astronauts on the moon.
