ABOUT AUTHOR

Hi, I’m Sergio Funes, a lifelong learner, author, and believer in the power of values. I’m in my late forties now, but some of the most important things I carry with me came from my childhood—not expensive gifts or achievements, but the values my father instilled in me before he passed away. Those lessons have stayed with me ever since.

Over the years, I’ve heard so many parents, grandparents, and educators say, “Values are being lost.” That concern moved me to action. I started listening, collecting stories, and turning those insights into books that can help children, teens, and adults reconnect with what truly matters.

The Children With Values collection was born from those conversations and my own journey. These books are not just stories or activities—they’re designed to help children, teens, and adults internalize values, because when values are internalized, they’re much easier to put into practice.

I’m deeply grateful to all the parents and educators who shared their ideas, helping me shape these books into tools where values come alive. Thank you to my mother, my family, and my friends for their example, support, and patience throughout this process. And thank you, the reader, for believing in the impact that values can have on your life, your child’s future (if you’re a parent), and on the world.

This project is not just mine. It’s built on the wisdom, experiences, and love of many people.

And I hope it becomes part of your journey, too.
