I am a person who has always loved children's literature. I collect children's books and am a book scavenger. I have about 600 children's books and I'm still collecting. I started collecting with my daughter, who is now 23, and I'm currently collecting for my adopted sons. I am of Hispanic and Pueblo culture. I am married and have eight children (only one is a natural child). I have worked in early childhood for 22 years. I am now working on my Bachelors of Education degree. My plan is to teach Mid-school literature.
