Mona Liza Santos is an award-winning children’s author who writes stories that help young readers recognize their worth, embrace their uniqueness, and carry kindness with them as they grow.Her writing journey began during the uncertainty of the pandemic, when days felt unfamiliar and the future was unclear.

 

Inspired by her son and a desire to bring him comfort and reassurance, she began writing simple, heartfelt stories at home, never imagining how far those words would reach.

 

What started as a way to connect with her child has since grown into a collection of more than forty books. Through rhyming picture books, self-love stories, and gentle tales for young readers, Mona continues to share messages of courage, compassion, and staying true to who you are.

 

Having traveled to over seventy countries, she draws from her life experiences, cultural discoveries, and personal reflections to shape stories that feel both intimate and relatable. These moments quietly influence her work, adding depth and warmth to each page.

 

As her collection grew, Mona created World Love Press as a home for her books, a space where she could continue sharing stories centered on emotional well-being, kindness, and self-worth in children.

 

For Mona, writing is not just a profession but a meaningful extension of her role as a mother. Each story is written with care, with the hope that it reaches the child who may need a little reassurance or a reminder that they are not alone.

 

Her hope is to leave behind stories that her son, and children everywhere, can return to, stories that gently remind them that they matter, that they are capable, and that they are loved exactly as they are.
