Meet this mother-daughter duo who created a book about 11-year-old author Eyannie A. Gomez's true life events!
SB: I like to think about all the stories I can tell and the different ways I can tell it. I like to write down character names and different settings I may use.
TW: How difficult was it to write your story?
SB: It was kind of difficult because I had to figure out a cool Title for my book. Most of the stories in my book are inspired by my true life events so I had to change the character names and figure out what stories from my life I wanted to use
