Lupe Almaguer Cruz Shares TILLIE'S MAGICAL CHRISTMAS RIDE

Imagine a world with no Christmas. For Lupe Almaguer Cruz, celebrating Christmas only occurred in her dreams.

Cruz was one of eight siblings born to migrant working parents that constantly traveled in order to work. Beginning at 5-years-old, Cruz and her siblings labored in the fields making education inaccessible and Christmas presents and decorations simply out of reach. It wasn't until Cruz was 7-years-old that she first heard of the legendary Christmas figure, Santa Claus, and that night she had a magical dream that she met him.

After many years of thirsting for knowledge, Cruz accomplished her goal of teaching herself how to read and write English. Today she turned that 7-year-old girls dream into an adventurous children's Christmas book.

"Tillie's Magical Christmas Ride" brings to life a young girl's imagination and a Christmas ride as Santa's helper that shows readers the true meaning of the holiday.
