Author Spotlight:

Candelaria Norma Silva

Candelaria Norma Silva writes children’s books that are meant to be
read aloud
.  They are inspired by the large, loving, close-knit extended
family she grew up with in St. Louis, Missouri and her living and
rearing her children in Boston, Massachusetts. Her experiences as a
daughter, a mother, a grandmother, an aunt, and a “play-Auntie” means
she has many stories to tell!

In addition to being an author, Candelaria is an arts administrator and facilitator of parenting workshops. She connects community-based groups to the arts. Candelaria's book 'Jump! Jump! Jump! Stacey' received a Kirkus Starred Review, which is awarded to books of exceptional merit.

Frugal has an awesome
selection of books at competitive prices. Online orders ship quickly, and I was happy to see they used minimal packaging to get my books to me undamaged without being wasteful. Highly recommend!
