"Our students loved having a real author, with fun props visit our elementary. Mr. Flores was funny, patient, and allowed the students to be a part of the program. We are very happy with the decision to invite Mr. . Flores, and we look forward to him coming back with new books and characters."
David Antonio Flores, you were by far one of the best authors I have ever seen visit a school and I have been teaching for 22 years. Thank you very much!!!!
I highly recommend adding Brownie Books to your school and classroom libraries! Brownie Books content is culturally spot on with highly interesting Bilingual story lines. I immediately bought a copy of David Flores’ entire selection of books for my grandchildren! “Mis Chanclas and my Chones” and “Tita la Gallinita” became instant Favs! They are high quality books with amazing illustrations!
Through highs, lows, and daily ten-minute practices, these friends discover that success isn't handed out – it's earned. Sprout's journey is a delightful tale of growth, friendship, and the power of persistence, reminding readers that practice may not make perfect, but it certainly makes you better and better.
Join Sprout, Blaze, and Zing as they battle boredom and scorching heat, determined to learn the art and importance of swimming, specially during the hot summer days!
"A splash-tastic adventure that combines humor and important lessons on water safety. Join these lovable veggies who embark on a journey to stay cool in the hot sun!"

"Way to go, Sprout! A fun read with charming illustrations that artfully incorporates lessons about the importance of survival swimming skills and the value of not giving up. This delightful story is sure to capture childrens' attention and bolster their confidence as they take on new challenges and feel proud of their progress!"
