Hello everyone,
I'd like to share an interview with Barbara Ireland Mojica about her wonderful children's books, featuring Little Miss History.
How long have you been writing stories and what inspired you to start?
I have been writing the Little Miss HISTORY Travels to….
nonfiction series since 2012. There are now sixteen titles
as well
as a trilogy book based on the New York City titles and a
Little

What are the titles of your books?
In chronological order:
Little Miss HISTORY Travels to…MOUNT RUSHMORE
The STATUE of LIBERTY
SEQUOIA NATIONAL PARK
FORD’S THEATER
SEQUOIA NATIONALPARK
SPACE Museum-INTREPID SEA AND AIR
What inspired you to write?
As a history major, I authored academic papers for research,
but I
did not start authoring stories until 2010. At that time, I
began to
author brief stories focused on historical topics for a
local news
magazine. I wanted to stay connected with children as I had
been
involved with teaching and administration for more than
forty
years. So, I decided to write history books for children. My
husband, who is an artist designed the cartoon character,
Little
Miss HISTORY based on a younger version of myself.
