Music teachers all over the country used this book to supplement their teaching. It was then that Vicky caught the writing bug.After 6 years in the classroom, Vicky became a full-time author. She also serves as a coach to aspiring authors. To date, she has released 10 picture books that draw upon her teaching experience and Puerto Rican heritage . Her interactive musical books teach kids everything from music vocabulary and how to play the recorder. Vicky has become so successful in such a short time, Disney and Random House recently tapped into her to write the Encanto Step Into Reading book. Websitewww.athomeauthor.comSocial Media Information@athomeauthor (IG and Facebook)Show SponsorThe National Association for Primary Education speaks for young children and all who live and work with them.
