Santiago’s Woodpile
Book Published on Monday, September 22, 2025
Santiago’s Woodpile is for children 3-8 years old. This is the first children’s book I’ve written, and my second illustrated children’s book. The illustrations were created in watercolor and colored pencil. Thank you to Alan Carr and Ellie Peterson for editing the book! Curious about How To Self Publish A Children’s Book?
“Santiago’s Woodpile is a delightful tale about a reclusive but resilient mouse, who meets the challenge of changing circumstances, and discovers newfound bravery within. The artwork gives a playful and imaginative glimpse into the cozy world of woodpile living. Young audiences will identify with Santiago, and root for his ability to survive and thrive!”
