Adry Cortez

Ta-da! You found me! 🎉

Hi! I’m Adry Cortez. But if you know me in person, you might be thinking, “Wait… who’s Adry?” 😂

Surprise! I’m Silvia, or Teacher Silvia! Adry comes from my middle name, and for some reason, I’ve always liked that nickname best!

And Cortez? That’s my husband’s last name. When I wrote my first book, he joked, “Hey, I want some credit too! What if you become famous? Don’t leave me behind!” 🤣 So, of course, he got a spot on the cover!

I’m a mom and early childhood educator with over ten years of experience. Children inspire me every day with their curiosity, big feelings, and little victories. Motherhood has made those lessons even more meaningful.

I create books and resources that help children understand emotions, solve problems, and grow with kindness and confidence.

When I’m not writing or teaching, I love singing, exploring technology, and dreaming up new ideas.

Welcome to my little corner of stories and discoveries! 💛

With love,

Adry (aka Silvia!)
