Welcome. My name is Valerie Pena, and I am the author of the World of Wally books.
Join me on my journey
As an author of children’s books, my goal is to use my gift of writing to create stories that help young people relate to similar situations in their own lives. As a result, they can develop the awareness and insight to be empowered and overcome whatever obstacles or situation they themselves are facing.
I am happy to collaborate with my daughter, Lauren, who is the digital artist and illustrator of the World of Wally books. Our goal, as a team, is to breathe life into Wally and show children just how much they can accomplish as they join Wally in his journey.
A pup with a purpose
My books are based on a main character who is a sweet, loving pup. All he wants is to be loved by a family of his own. Join him on his journey and be empowered.
