Lesson in Responsibility

By Paula Gómez

Thank you for joining us in my new journey as a children's book writer. My son, Martin, who is now nine years old, has been, since the day he was born, my main source of inspiration. The books I write share the lessons Martin learns at school as he is growing up, and we also share the lessons we teach each other at home; because at his young age and ever since he was a baby, my son teaches me every day about life as much as I teach him, if not more. We hope these books inspire the children who read them to want to improve their own lives by learning the value of practicing certain virtues in their everyday activities.
