Are you beaming with pride over your children's accomplishments?
Whether it's watching them fill a room with laughter, display empathy, or overcome obstacles, Mike Suarez is perpetually impressed with his kids on a daily basis. He uses their personal experiences as inspiration for his writing. This was especially true in his debut book, Year One with Type One, inspired by his son's remarkable attitude regarding his type 1 diabetes.
Authoring a children's book in rhyme is hardly a typical goal for a Software Engineer. Yet for Mike, it became a goal and a passion. As a native New Yorker, currently residing in the suburbs of Boston, Mike also enjoys watching sports and spending time with his family.
