Ivan Perez is a retired elementary school teacher, musician, songwriter, recording artist, and singer. Perez recently added author to his rich profile with the launch of his children’s book, Pepito the Cricket, published ten years after his retirement.
Pepito the Cricket is a captivating tale that follows Pepito, a unique cricket born without a cricket’s natural ability to chirp and fly. In a world filled with insecurity and self-esteem issues, this book encourages its young readers to embrace the physical features and inner qualities that make them unique while asserting the worth they carry inside. Pepito’s inspiring story is a morale booster, filling its readers with the courage and resilience to overcome any challenge they may face.
Furthermore, Pepito the Cricket’s fun-filled journey through a vibrant forest teaches children about the diversity of plants and animals. The children’s book is also laced with valuable lessons about perseverance, self-discovery, and the power of friendship. Pepito the Cricket is available on Amazon as Kindle and paperback copies, selling for $5.99 and $12.95, respectively.
Born in Puerto Rico and moving with his family to the United States at the age of ten, Ivan Perez has given his life to shaping lives as a teacher. Beginning his teaching career with the New York City Department of Education in 1984 and working passionately for three decades, his newest book is a rich and interesting resource for families with children from pre-k to third grade, especially families in the Latino/Puerto Rican community, educators, schools, and libraries, to name a few.
