i am so proud to say that i am the niece of a children's book illustrator! my awesome uncle, bobby rios, drew the pictures for a book called the special child. he's always had an artistic talent, and i'm so glad that he finally got the credit and recognition that he so deserves. to honor the publication of the book, my family, as well as the author's family, joined together for a book-warming party. when it came time to distribute the books and have them signed, you could just feel the excitement in the air from everyone in the room. i patiently waited to receive my copy, and once i did, i just about peed my pants as i watched my uncle sign "to my niece" followed by his signature...it was awesome!!
because the book is about a little boy with cancer, proceeds will go towards cancer research--so go buy your copy today!
