Camila’s Story

Camila Athill-Fonseca is a fifth grader in Gates-Chili, NY. Her hobbies include dancing, swimming, baseball and crafts. She likes to cuddle and play with her sister, Lucia.

Camila was happy that she was able to include drawings of her friends, Delaney, Deklin and Micah in her book. They were helpful in making Camila feel better after Paola passed away.

She hopes this book will help other kids when someone they love is very sick or has died. She feels that if kids know they are not the only one going through this type of struggle, it will help them feel better.

Camila enjoyed writing this book and is planning on writing another book that talks about how it feels years after a traumatic experience.
