Author Description

Two unlikely best friends refuse to allow their differences to keep them apart. Join in on Chester and Harlina's journey to friendship and learn a valuable lesson along the way! This story was written by a younger writer (age 9) who is a force to be reckoned with. She is a bilingual Spanish learner who struggled with reading in early elementary school. Her perseverance and growth mindset allowed her to grow past her own challenges to create this beautiful story for other young readers to enjoy. She's put in countless hours of reading practice (in two languages) every single week for 3+ years. As an aspiring singer and scientist, she hopes that other young learners never give up, pursue their passions, and never judge based on looks.
