The Glowing Axolotl

by Franz Tomás, Fabián Navares (Illustrator)

Overview

The Glowing Axolotl is the story of one salamander's journey to find self-love and acceptance. While navigating the magical and fragile waters of Lake Xochimilco, our young hero, Tian, discovers that he is not quite the average amphibian. Through adventure and adversity, he soon finds out that life - much like the lake's ecosystem - can sometimes be challenging and difficult to maneuver. Addressing themes of inclusion, identity, culture and climate, The Glowing Axolotl is a modern celebration of embracing one's differences and not being afraid to shine one's inner light.

About the Author

Franz Tomás has been a storyteller ever since he could hold a pencil in his hand. An only child of two immigrant parents, he grew up in the United States among a myriad of perspectives, cultures and languages. No stranger to reinvention, Franz's resumé reads like a colorful anthology of a curious and ambitious soul: B.A. from the University of Southern California and several careers in public relations, marketing, branding, design, film production, business and fitness. A forever journalist at heart, his true mission has always been to give a voice to the voiceless and to celebrate diverse stories that both inspire and educate. You probably won't ever find Franz because he is hopefully traveling the globe. The Glowing Axolotl is this Cuban-Korean American author's first children's book.
