Nestor’s passion for empowering children through literature shines through in her writing. “As a communicator by training and a storyteller by heart, I believe books for children can do more than amuse. They can plant important seeds of confidence, courage, and connection,” she says. Through her series, she aims to nurture the emotional development of children, helping them understand the importance of empathy, resilience, and facing challenges with a positive attitude.
