About the Founder
Dr. Amy Delgado
I’m Dr. Amy Delgado—a proud Latina educator, devoted mother, and passionate writer with a heart full of stories waiting to be told. I founded Lila Tree Publishing because I believe every child deserves to open a book and see someone who looks like them, speaks like them, and dreams like them staring back from the pages.
Growing up navigating between two cultures is a beautiful journey filled with unique challenges and profound joys. I wanted to create stories that honor this experience—books that help children walk confidently in both worlds, celebrate their multilingual voices, and embrace their rich cultural heritage with pride and confidence.
Lila Finds Her Voice was born from that mission—a story rooted in identity, language, and the transformative power of being heard. Through my daughters’ and granddaughter’s eyes, I’ve witnessed firsthand how representation matters. Lila Tree Publishing is more than a publishing house; it’s a space for stories that feel like home, where young readers discover that their bilingual journey is not just valid—it’s extraordinary.
