Author

Bobbi Salinas was born and raised in East L.A., a cultural center for the Indo-Hispanic community. In college, she became involved with the Chicano movement. This background has been the source of strength from which she continues to draw. Her cultural heritage was especially significant when she decided to emerge from her profession as an educator to become an entrepreneurial creator of books for children and adults. She says she became a writer to search for her own culture and the best way to present it. Now her greatest joy is having the power to create accurate educational materials about the Indo-Hispanic cultures, focusing on the lives of ordinary people. She is a self-thought writer, illustrator, and publisher.
