Meet the Author

Victoria Farias

Victoria Farias is a children's book author, entrepreneur, and mother based in San Antonio, Texas. Bella's Journey is her debut picture book.

The idea for Bella arrived unexpectedly in a doctor's office waiting room.

"I looked up and saw a butterfly hanging from the ceiling, and I started thinking about how much we compare ourselves to others. I stopped scrolling, opened my Notes app, and started writing. That is how Bella's Journey was born."

Since then, Victoria has shared Bella's story with children at the San Antonio Zoo, The DoSeum, Twig Book Shop, Barnes & Noble, Will Smith Zoo School, and classrooms and learning centers across San Antonio.

"Kids come up to me after readings and tell me they want to write a book someday, or that they have felt like Bella before. Those conversations are everything to me."
