Hi! My name is Irma Hersel, a California-based children’s author sharing two culturally rich children’s books now being added to public library collections.
Where Chocolate Grows
Where Nopalitos Grow
Both books are written for early elementary readers and focus on:
• Family & multigenerational storytelling
• Culture, food traditions, and curiosity
• English & Spanish words throughout
These titles are being enjoyed by families, educators, and libraries and are often used to spark conversations about heritage, identity, and where our food comes from.
