Gabriel Fuentes

Gabriel is the debut author of Bela’s Fashion Show, a picture book inspired by the playful imagination of his daughter, Isabela. His writing is intentionally simple and whimsical, shaped by tea party adventures, stuffed animal secrets, and the bright, unfiltered way children see the world. As a first time author with more books on the horizon, Gabriel draws on family life and real world curiosity to craft stories that encourage young readers to imagine boldly. When he isn’t writing, he leads a team of builders and explores the ocean—sometimes diving 30 meters beneath the surface—to discover new sources of inspiration.
