Lina travels the streets of Bogotá, Colombia with her Mamá, looking for recyclable treasure, when a wall of graffiti sends her on a quest to find treasure in everyone. 🌞🇨🇴✨🎨♻️🫏
UNIQUE LIKE YOU is a bilingual picture book (English & Spanish,) co-written by your truly and my husband Rafael Rozo, illustrated (or vividly brought to life) by @angie.alape We gasped at her gorgeous illustrations of graffiti and images of her and Rafael's beautiful hometown nestled high in the Andes Mountains.
This story is close to our hearts and was inspired by a photo I took on my first trip to Bogotá of Reclicadores and their burro in front of a wall of graffiti.
UNIQUE LIKE YOU releases September 16th '25 with @beamingbooksmn and is available wherever books are sold. To PREORDER see the link in my bio!
