Amada Gil

Amada's life experiences, including raising three daughters on her own, have shaped her writing and the lessons she shares through her stories. As a retired School Counselor and former teacher, she recognizes that children sometimes struggle to understand that they have options to make thoughtful decisions.

Her primary motivation for writing is to help children recognize their feelings and approach difficult situations knowing that they always have choices. By taking a moment to consider what is best for them, children can achieve better outcomes.

Through the "Positive Coqui's Power of Choice" series, Amada aims to equip children with this essential life skill, empowering them to navigate any situation with confidence, clarity and patience.
