Letty Belmares

I have been a practicing advocate for familes in Health, Nutrition, and Education, including with my own family for over 25 years. I am a proud graduate of Loyola University, Chicago. I have been working with children since I was 17 years old: first, at St. Michael’s Church, then ULBG, Union League Boys & Girls Club and Camp, and later, I taught at the elementary school level in Chicago to the high school level in Romeoville, IL. Before teaching, I was a CNA, Certified Nurse’s Assistant, at St. Anthony Hospital in Chicago. I have continued my love for teaching children through homeschooling two of my own ever since they were toddlers and are now beautiful young adults. My inspiration for writing and my love for life has and always will be-children.

Together with my family, a family of writers and illustrators, we have created a product line of books called, “Little Encouragers”. Our books have been designed and created with good ol’ fashion raw talent and God given gifts through inspiration, which we believe come from our Divine Creator. Each of our “Little Encouragers” books brings wonderful lessons using fun writing and vibrant illustrations to unite family members in the joy of discovery through reading, so families can learn and grow together. “Little Encouragers” books encourage good practices in physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health for stronger and more united families.
