To celebrate "International Children's Day," Con Todo Press will release "I Am Enough/Soy Fuerte Ya," a bilingual children's book by artist, songwriter and first-generation Latina Heidi Rojas.
"The message of “I Am Enough/Soy Fuerte Ya” is a celebration of who we are, where we come from and the strength we carry inside," said Rojas. "On International Children’s Day, a day focused on inclusion and equal rights for every child, I am proud to release this book, which amplifies the message that all children, no matter their background, deserve to feel seen, valued and empowered."
With vibrant colors and rich symbolism, the uplifting story follows a young girl who embarks on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment, guided by the whispers of her ancestors. The anthem celebrates the strength and wisdom we inherit from our ancestors and heritage, teaching us that we can find the confidence to achieve any dream if we reach within ourselves.
The book celebrates identity, family and inner strength. It is suitable for bilingual families and those seeking to teach their children about the power of cultural pride. The book is available in English and Spanish and includes the full lyrics so that little readers can follow along.
Rojas is a Grammy-nominated songwriter, artist and proud first-generation Latina. With a track record of co-writing two UK #1 singles, she has collaborated with renowned artists like Pitbull, Dove Cameron and Sam Feldt.
Beyond her successful music career, Rojas is passionate about empowering women, Latinas and mothers through her creative endeavors, including her upcoming bilingual children's book and viral hit songs. Focusing on healing, empowerment and cultural pride, Heidi continues to inspire and uplift through her artistry.
This debut children's book marks a significant milestone in Rojas' evolving career, following the success of her viral lullaby “The Feelings Song” and its Spanish counterpart “Sentimientos.” Her work is deeply rooted in helping women, Latinas and moms navigate their emotional landscapes while staying connected to their cultural heritage.
