About the Book

"Surround yourself with things that make your heart smile, and your days will shine a little brighter." What if children learned early on that happiness isn't something they have to wait for - it's something they can choose, moment by moment? In Surround Yourself, author Mona Liza Santos invites young readers and the grown-ups who love them to slow down, look around, and find joy in the little things. Through gentle rhymes and warm, dreamlike illustrations, this uplifting story reminds children that they have the power to fill their world with kindness, gratitude, and love. From the sparkle of sunlight on a stream to laughter shared with caring friends, every page celebrates the simple moments that make life beautiful. Kids will discover that happiness isn't found in what they have, but in the way they see the world - and in the people and memories they choose to surround themselves with. Perfect for ages 4-10, this heartfelt picture book encourages mindfulness, self-love, and emotional resilience in a way that feels real and relatable. It's a story families will return to again and again - a comforting reminder that joy is always close by, waiting to be noticed. Surround Yourself is more than a book - it's a keepsake of calm, a celebration of kindness, and a quiet invitation to find beauty in everyday life.

About the Author :
Mona Liza Santos writes stories that help children see their worth, embrace their uniqueness, and carry kindness into the world. Her books span rhyming picture books, self-love stories, spooky tales, coloring books, and journals-each crafted to inspire courage, compassion, resilience, and staying true to oneself. Born in Chicago, Illinois, and raised in San Diego, Mona began her author journey during the 2020 pandemic, when the world slowed down enough for her creativity to take root. Inspired by her son and by children everywhere, she poured her heart into stories that spark a love of reading while gently teaching emotional intelligence, kindness, and self-acceptance. Her storytelling is deeply shaped by her Filipino heritage, the wisdom of her grandparents, and her travels to more than seventy countries. Every culture, lesson, and experience finds its way into her work, creating meaningful connections for children and families around the globe. Mona's son, Michael Blade, has also become a published author under her guidance. Together, they dream up characters, worlds, and life lessons to share-building a legacy of creativity, imagination, and hope. When she isn't writing, Mona enjoys time with her son at the beach or exploring nature, peaceful walks through local parks, and getting lost in a good book. She also delights in design and creation-whether it's shaping book layouts, crafting journals, or imagining new projects-and finds joy in every step of the process. Above all, Mona's mission is to help children grow up knowing they are valued and loved just as they are. She believes stories have the power to nurture confidence, build empathy, and create lasting change in how children see themselves and the world around them.
