I really love the mystery behind Mateo's art. Simple yet moving.

I have found the kiddie book series that I wanna collect. Aside from this series' protagonist having may nephew's moniker (Mateo), this embodies the values that I wanna to impart with him - sharing of your blessings and thinking outside the box :)
