Welcome
Hello and welcome! My name is Rebecca J. Gomez, and I am a children's book author, illustrator, and poet. I believe in nurturing children's creativity and sense of wonder and giving them stories that will help them navigate this wide, wonderful, sometimes overwhelming world. I write poetry, picture books, and novels in verse for children and children at heart. I also illustrate, though I am a bit of a late bloomer as an illustrator. My first illustrated book (which I also wrote) is a middle grade novel in verse titled Mari in the Margins . To learn more about me and keep up with my writing and illustrating news (and see original sketches and poetry) check out my weekly newsletter, Snippets and Sketches . I also post regularly on Instagram and Facebook and (less regularly) on Bluesky .
