Do you ever think about the future? Do you like to imagine it or does it sometimes scare you? Incredible things may happen tomorrow but that tomorrow still awaits us. NOW you are here, and there is life and beauty all around us: the sound of waves inside a shell, a warm hand holding yours or a hug to chase away your fears. A poetic reminder to cherish the here and the NOW.
Carmen Mateo was born in Seville (Spain) in 1982. She is a psychologist who uses children’s literature as a tool with her patients and as a moment for family enjoyment. Although her professional career started in Psychology, she soon crossed paths with stories, as a fan and, later, as their author. She likes to talk and be talked to, and with Gabby Gabe, a very chatty boy, she debuts in NubeOcho.
