WHAT’S NEXT IN THE CATALINA & SOFIA SERIES

AUTHOR’S DIARY
I am thrilled because the third book of the Catalina & Sofía series will soon be out in Spanish. Those who have already read the first two books will have seen the cover at the end of the second book, “Catalina & Sofia among the bones of Kuelap.” The third book is called “Catalina & Sofia: Guardian Apprentices.” In this book, Catalina & Sofia discover what they will be guarding. You will also learn more about the other characters appearing on this website – Alessandra, Awande, Farah, Juana, and Nakoma – who come from different parts of the world. Guess where they are from! If you still don’t know, look them up in the “Characters” section of this website.
Right now, the third book is being laid out. That means that they are organizing where the illustrations of the book and the text will go. They are also finishing the book design so that it looks as nice as the other two. I hope you can read it soon. If you are interested in receiving special news about the books and want to be the first to know when a new one is coming out, please subscribe to the “Author’s Diary.”
I also wanted to tell you that I recently had a very nice meeting with the kids from Palestra School. Since we are in the middle of the pandemic, it was a virtual meeting. The kids had all read the first book, and we had a fun meeting, where they asked me questions and showed me their work. They had even imagined what the second book should look like, so they wrote and illustrated the first book’s continuation. Some of them had also read the second one. I was delighted to share some time with the students of Palestra School. I loved being able to speak with them, and I was very impressed by their work.
I have already written part of the fourth book, and I plan to continue writing it these days. I have to share my time among different activities, but I set some time aside to write as soon as I have a chance. It’s a lot of fun to be able to let your imagination run wild.
Stay healthy. Always wear your masks, and don’t forget to wash your hands often! This is a very unique experience we are going through. As with everything, it will pass, and there is always something to learn…
Feel free to share any thoughts or questions you may have about the books, in the comment box down below.
Love,
Jackie

I am very excited to launch this diary, which I will publish once a month. Through it, I will tell you about how I am moving forward with the Catalina and Sofia series, as well as other news. During the presentations of the first two books of the series, several of you asked what inspired me to write them, and I would like to answer this here.
