Description
A Note From the Author: My first picture book, The Strength to Grow Through Darkness, was inspired by a time when I saw a plant growing from the concrete in my backyard. I was so in awe of it. I wondered, how was it able to grow so big when it started out as a seed growing with its barriers from underneath the concrete? As a seed, I am sure it didn't have a nice bed of soil to grow from, and it didn't have proper access to sunlight with the thin crack above it. I was amazed, thinking how much harder it had to work compared to a seed growing outside on soil. Soon afterward, I discovered that Tupac, the famous rapper, wrote a poem where he probably felt how I felt on that day. His poem was a beautiful, inspiring poem called, The Rose that Grew From Concrete. I was so inspired by everything that I made it my goal to write this book. With that said, I hope this book can motivate people of all ages to keep on living, hoping, and believing in themselves. Thank you! Sincerely, Angelica Lyanna N. Garcia
