Good Night Captain Mama by Graciela Tiscareno-Sato

Graciela has tapped into a need identified by thousands of school districts and public libraries as well as hundreds of schools on military installations: the need for inspirational, bilingual literature, featuring characters who resemble their readers. What if we applied those innovation values to small businesses and created economic opportunity for our communities and jobs for Americans?

The case studies show that we are culturally programmed to be really smart with our resources and to be creative. Its sequel, Captain Mama's Surprise/La Sorpresa de Capitan Mama, also conveys a positive message for young students: 'There's no need for fear when you've learned to do something well!' Graciela's first book, Latinnovating, showcases examples of highly-educated Latinas and Latinos who have created and lead sustainable businesses in a variety of industries. 'Captain Mama' developed into the title character of Graciela's book titled Good Night Captain Mama/Buenas Noches Capitan Mama, the award-winning, first bilingual children's book about moms serving in the military. In addition to being a wife and mother of three, Graciela is a highly decorated veteran of the United States Air Force, experienced corporate marketer, bilingual STEM consultant to K-12 school districts, speaker, and educational entrepreneur. At his young age, he realized that 'mom' wasn't her only job. 'Good night, Captain Mama', said Graciela Tiscareno-Sato's son after observing her in her flight suit preparing for a Veteran's Day presentation at his pre-school the next day. Graciela is redefining who supplies our nation's schools and libraries with literature by featuring success stories about the nation's fastest growing ethnic group. Gracefully Global Group LLC publishes award-winning, multicultural books and ebooks for K-college readers, showcasing positive contributions of Latinas and Latinos in the USA. We recently connected with Graciela Tiscareno-Sato, the CEO and Founder of Gracefully Global Group LLC, located in San Francisco's East Bay, to chat about how her business educates, informs, and inspires others, and her borrowing experience with Kiva US.
