My name is Gabriela Alvarado and this is the story of how a simple game between mother and daughter became a book full of imagination, music and love.

When my first daughter, Sofía, was little, our afternoons were filled with improvised stories. I would sit with her and, using my own fingers as puppets, tell her stories so she could imagine new worlds. That's how Quitita was born , a curious little girl who travels through the weather and lives wonderful adventures.

Back then, it was just a game, an intimate moment between mother and daughter to nurture her imagination and teach her to dream. But those stories stayed with me. Years later, I felt the need to share them with other children. That's how my first interactive book was born , designed so that even more little ones could experience that magic, using their fingers and letting their creativity soar.

Today, that dream is also intertwined with another of my great passions: music . I've taught my daughters to sing, and together we've created something special. My daughter Sofía performs the song "Quitita Baila ," a cheerful melody that invites you to move, laugh, and keep dreaming with Quitita.

I'm a mother of two daughters, and I can say with certainty that they have been my greatest motivation for starting this venture. My book is a little piece of my heart transformed into pages and songs. I would love for more families to discover this story, which was born from a love as simple as a mother telling a story with her fingers.
