Daniela Palacios is a proud Latina author, social entrepreneur, and Columbia University student.

The Window of Opportunity
Children learn languages best before age 10, when their brains are especially open to new sounds and patterns (weforum.org).
That’s where Para KIDS! comes in! to help young children build strong connections to language and culture. Through joyful bilingual books and interactive workshops, she creates spaces where kids can grow up proud of their heritage and confident in both English and Spanish.
