About the Author: Diana Lee Santamaria
Diana Lee Santamaria is a Latina children’s author of a bilingual preschool book series entitled, “DLee’s World.” Ms. Santamaria has a Master’s Degree in Early Childhood Education along with eight years of teaching experience. Her “DLee’s World” series is optimized for children ages 3-5 and encourages early literacy while embracing diversity. The main character, DLee, is bright and quirky with a passion for learning. Each character represents a different ethnicity to further give young children new ideas about acceptance and fun. DLee’s World incorporates elements of the author’s childhood and professional experiences. The books use playful verbiage and developmentally appropriate learning strategies to increase reading comprehension. About the concept for DLee’s World, Santamaria stated it best when she said, “As a child who struggled with reading, I understand the importance of literacy and making it fun for children, so I work on bringing all the essential elements into DLee's World. Since literacy is all around us, why not give our children the best opportunity at success by encouraging habits of learning at the earliest ages possible? I want my stories to spark children’s interest in books and awaken a thirst for learning and knowledge.” “DLee’s Color Hunt,” “DLee’s Outdoor Countdown,” “DLee’s First Day of School,” “DLee’s Nighttime Scare,” and “DLee’s Bad Day” (in English and Spanish) were the first five books in the series. Now the author has done it again by successfully publishing bilingual versions of each of her books. When asked the author said, “My hopes are to be able to design my books to be tools for children and families to either learn a new language or for English Language Learners (ELL) to strengthen their knowledge of the English language with their educators at school and families at home.”
Reviews/Quotes
|| REVIEWS: Mrs. Monica Jacobson Saint Joseph Academy- Bogota, NJ "Hello Diana, I wanted to thank you for giving us the opportunity to hear your wonderful books! I wanted to let you know that the PK-3 children really enjoyed your books and your visit! I believe the children identified themselves with the character in "DLee's First Day of School"since most of them just started school! I was impressed with their attention. I loved the colorful pictures as well! I am glad we have authors like you that can write great books for our very young children! Good Luck to you in writing more great books!" Chrysalis Learning Exchange, LLC DLee's World traveled to Manassas, Virginia for one of our summer Children's Hour events, Wormy Wednesday. I specifically chose to say, DLee's World, and not Diana Lee in this review because Diana Lee did not just bring herself! She brought her world. Diana Lee is the epitome of what I look for in an early childhood educator as a mother, educational consultant, and early childhood educator myself. She is so clearly in love with what she does as evidenced by her movements, voice intonations when reading, interactions with families and children, and the sheer volume of quality work that she has released in such a short period of time. At our Wormy Wednesday event, Diana Lee engaged our audience for about 45 minutes. She offered a variety of activities and opportunities for the children's voices to be heard. Her stories are so appropriate for the preschool-aged children that she gears them for. They have bold pictures including children from many different cultural/racial backgrounds, larger print, and allow for wonderful opportunities to play with voice as each character's voice is in quotations. As a bonus, a few of her titles are offered in a bilingual (english/spanish) version. I have so much more that I could say, but I will leave you with this...If you want to have a well-versed, passionate educator and author at one of your events, please do not give it a second thought...reach out to Diana Lee. You will be thrilled that you did! See you again soon, Diana!
