“Obviously we were all very affected by what happened in Uvalde and when I came out with this book and I started seeing the joy it brought children, and even adults, I thought this is the perfect way to contribute to their community,” Garza said.

Garza is still collecting books, which cost $12.99.

If you’d like to buy one to donate to an Uvalde child, send an email to authorelizamgarza@gmail.com or visit elizamgarza.com.
