Her children’s stories focus on messages that promote self-acceptance, diversity, and equity. Her presentations inspire readers to understand the power of friendship and generosity and to respect the differences between people. Reviews:  “Marie and Domingo have woven together a beautiful story about the power of friendship. The greatest wish I have for young readers is to learn as the princess and Mia have learned, as lessons learned in early childhood develop into lifelong treasures of wisdom.” —Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams “The gift of friendship is not defined by what you have or where you are from, but who you are. It is important that we nourish our children’s minds with valuable lessons, such as teaching them to be kind, compassionate, generous, and respectful to one another, just as is done in this beautifully written and illustrated book. As a mother, I am dedicated to raising my son to nurture meaningful friendships as do the characters in this story.” —New York City Council Majority Leader Laurie A. Cumbo “So much simple truth in this story … may just be my favorite book. Domingo has again done something with so much Love.” —Kelly Rutherford, Actress
