Children see themselves in the stories and discover that big dreams start with small, brave steps.
Tips for parents, simple activities and read-aloud moments turn reading time into family time.

I write children’s books because I believe every child carries a small spark of curiosity — and that the right story, at the right moment, can turn it into a lifelong love of learning.
My books are made to be read together: a snow leopard searching for home, a little penguin at bedtime, a toy robot on a big journey, careers that invite big dreams, first words in two languages. Each one is created with care, with warm illustrations and simple ideas parents can bring into everyday life. More stories — and more languages for the My First Words series — are on the way.
New stories and new languages are on the way. Find all of Elena’s books on Amazon and follow along for every new release.
