Dear St. Anne Family,
With hearts full of gratitude and excitement, we would love to share something very special with our parish community. ❤️
As a family, we are incredibly proud to introduce Little Legends Originals, a collection of beautifully illustrated children's books lovingly written and created by my husband, Rafael Ocando Rondón.
As proud members of this wonderful parish and residents of Eastmark, Mesa, it means so much to us to share this special family project with the community that has become such an important part of our lives.
These stories were created with a simple but meaningful purpose: to inspire children, bring families closer together, and share values that can stay in their hearts long after the final page.
Today, we are delighted to introduce our first two books:
⚾ MATEO — The Dream That Crossed 8 CountriesInspired by an extraordinary true journey featured in the award-winning documentary NO WAY BACK, MATEO tells the story of a young Venezuelan boy whose dream of playing baseball takes him across eight countries.
Through challenges, sacrifices, unexpected friendships, and the love of family, Mateo discovers that even the most difficult journeys can lead to beautiful new beginnings.
A heartfelt story of courage, resilience, family, and never giving up on your dreams.
📖 Discover MATEO on our website
🎄 YASMIN — A Place at the TableOur newest book is a beautiful Christmas story set in New York City.
Yasmin is a young tennis player whose dreams are challenged by difficult circumstances. Along her journey, her faith, determination, and friendship guide her through uncertainty, while an unexpected connection with an elderly American veteran reminds us of the extraordinary power of kindness and generosity.
A touching Christmas story about faith, friendship, family, compassion, and the importance of making room for someone in our lives.
📖 Discover YASMIN on Amazon
Two Stories. Two Languages. One Beautiful Message.Both books are beautifully illustrated, with 132 pages of bilingual English–Spanish storytelling, created to encourage meaningful moments of reading and connection between children, parents, and grandparents.
As Christmas approaches, we hope these books can become more than gifts beneath the tree. We hope they become stories shared at bedtime, conversations around the family table, and little reminders of faith, hope, love, and kindness.
From our family to yours, thank you for allowing us to share this special part of our lives with you.
We feel truly blessed to be part of the St. Anne community, and nothing would make us happier than knowing these stories might bring a little inspiration and joy into your homes this Christmas.
🎁 Both books are available on Amazon. We encourage families to order early to allow time for holiday delivery.
