About the Author
Growing up in a family that was involved with foster care for many years, Victoria Padron had to see many children struggling through situations on their own in life. She was grateful to be able to lend a helping hand to anyone she could and it made her thankful that she had siblings and parents who were willing to be that guiding hand to so many different children.

Victoria wrote this book to be inclusive for all children. She wanted any child who read this book to be able to identify with Swell. Victoria wanted children to be able to see that even if their family is not like other families, there is always someone they can look up to or depend on as a parent figure. Victoria knows that no family is the same and therefore no child is in the same. "We are all different and coming from different situations, why not embrace that?" She hopes that you enjoy your reading of Choosing a Shell.
