WORK BOOKS INFO BLOG MORE ABOUT ALEJANDRA ILLUSTRATION BOOKS AND STORYTELLING Stories for me have always been a window to the world. As a child, my favorite pastime was listening to my grandma and aunts as they told me stories. Later, I found in books a sanctuary and an infinite flow of ideas for my imagination. Stories helped me build empathy, to construct imaginary worlds to escape from when things felt too much. Now, as an adult, I give those stories images. So it's not a job I take lightly. It is an honor and a privilege. I illustrate stories hoping to build empathy in others, and to help other children, like me, find the infinite love for reading and for always being attentive to hear others' stories. WHO IS GUILTY?

WORK BOOKS INFO BLOG FIVE REASONS TO FIGHT This is a survivor's story. For years, armed conflict has plagued many areas of Colombia. This is a story of displacement, of leaving your home behind because your life is in danger. A story of resilience. 'Five reasons to fight' (Five reasons to fight) is an illustrated story that tells the life story of a victim of displacement in the department of Norte de Santander, and is also a symbol of the processes of overcoming the experiences of the victims. ​ This illustrated story was commissioned by the Secretary of Post-Conflict and Culture of Peace of the Mayor's Office of Cúcuta and was presented at an event held on June 25, 2021. Memorializing the acts of violence is a vital necessity, not only for the local people to know and understand these events, but also to achieve a collective healing and overcoming of this pain.
