Previous Book – “New Oz: Finding the Spiral”

First of all, I’d like to make my previous book, New Oz: Finding the Spiral, absolutely free for everyone who supports my next projects — or even just thinks about it. You can download the PDF version here: https://kids2025.com/new-oz-book/

The book has received many kind reviews on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F63LRNYW. My friends and teachers — both from my previous school in Orange County, Florida, and my current one in Orange County, California — have also said many positive things about it. So, I invite you to read just a few pages with your family; who knows, it might draw you in too!

By the way, I’m always happy to personally deliver and sign a printed copy of New Oz for anyone who supports our upcoming projects — especially around Eastern and Southern Orange County. It’s not because my parents and I have nothing else to do, but because these visits often spark the best conversations and new ideas. Just leave a note if you’d like a signed copy, and we’ll make it happen!

New Book – “From Orange County to Orange County”

This is the story of two siblings, Alex and Maria, who believe that “better” must be somewhere far away — across the ocean, beyond the mountains, or hidden at the end of a glowing map.

Armed with a paper compass, an orange thread, and a squeaky turtle named Peeko, they journey from one Orange County to another, chasing the idea of a perfect place. But each adventure — from Florida’s tide pools to California’s cliffs — teaches them something deeper: courage in storms, patience in stillness, and kindness when things don’t go as planned.

By the time they reach the far coast, they discover a truth that changes everything: better isn’t a place you find — it’s something you carry inside.

From Orange to Orange is a family-written series inspired by real adventures, storytelling craft, and child development science. It helps children grow calm, curious, and connected — through stories that shine from the inside out.
