After studying Library and Documentation Science at the University of Granada, he decided to stay in Alhambra, where he has already published six illustrated albums, which he managed to bring together his passion for literature and art.

La incertidumbre y la imprevisibilidad irritan y desconciertan enormemente a nuestra pequeña protagonista, pero, con la ayuda de su amorosa y creativa madre, logrará hallar la solución que le permita disfrutar de cada día.
Sofía es una libélula que ha nacido con un ala más pequeña que la otra. Eso no le impide volar muy rápido y hacer un sinfín de piruetas, su pasatiempo favorito. Pero hay algo que la have sentir agitada, angustiada e incómoda cada día: Sofía necesita tenerlo todo bajo control y saber qué sucederá en cada momento, después de cada tarea.
Sofía, incansable, pregunta a su madre “qué harán después” una y otra vez, sin encontrar en
las respuestas que esta le proporciona la verdadera paz que necesita. Para su tranquilidad, su creativa, amorosa y paciente madre ideará un plan infalible que le
permitirá relajarse y disfrutar de aquello que más le gusta.
Un extraordinario recurso se nos presenta en forma de álbum ilustrado para abordar la
diversidad funcional y sus particularidades, el acompañamiento familiar y el instinto de superación.
Pero es, también, una historia de convivencia familiar, de crianza y maternidad, ya que la historia, al no estar narrada expresamente bajo el prisma del autismo o de la diversidad funcional, permite que cualquier pequeño lector empatice con la impaciencia de su inquieta protagonista.
