Journalist, writer, and editor Marybel Torres, CEO of the publishing house La Nota Latina, has released 'Corina, la Valiente,' an inspiring children's story that addresses courage, sensitive leadership, family unity, and love for home through an honest, emotional, and luminous perspective. Set in the symbolic País de la Gracia, the book invites children, families, and educators to reflect on dreams, education, resilience, and the inner strength that remains alive even in difficult times.
According to Torres, the story emerged from the need to name what many feel when paths close and sadness tries to extinguish dreams. 'I felt this story found me. It was born from seeing how, even when paths close, people continue dreaming in silence. Speaking of hope, without denying difficulty, is an act of love. This tale was born to remind us that light does not disappear; it only waits to be cared for,' she stated. In the narrative, Corina is a young leader who is close, real, and profoundly human. She does not wield swords or possess superpowers; her true strength lies in listening, educating, accompanying, and walking alongside others. Through her voice and actions, the book values a quiet courage, especially present in women, that often sustains entire communities without being recognized.
The País de la Gracia represents much more than a fictional setting. For the author, it symbolizes home, memory, family, identity, and the values that build a healthy society. When sadness governs and paths close, Corina begins a journey that reminds us there is always a way out when one educates, dialogues, and believes. The Estrella de la Paz, a central element of the tale, is not a prize but a responsibility: to care for truth, education, love, and faith once light returns. The book proposes necessary conversations with the youngest, recognizing that children perceive reality with depth and that speaking about difficult topics with hope strengthens critical thinking, emotional resilience, and social consciousness.
'Corina, la Valiente' is a work that does not underestimate children. It accompanies them with respect, sensitivity, and emotional clarity. Its value lies in opening dialogue spaces between generations, reminding us that stories remain a powerful tool for forming consciousness without indoctrination. The book is available for purchase on Amazon. Torres is also the creator of the international literary contest 'Cuéntale tu Cuento a La Nota Latina,' which has promoted Hispanic literary talent for over a decade. Her work focuses on stimulating critical thinking, emotional education, and family values as the foundation for a more conscious society.
