Fabiola Garza is an artist and storyteller striving to communicate the wonders of the Catholic faith to each child.

Fabiola’s mission is to challenge each little soul to listen to God and follow his or her own unique path to holiness through books and other goods.

From Fabiola

Why Saints?

I have many loves: fairytales, unicorns, dresses with puff sleeves, travel and of course Jesus Christ! My artwork has always reflected and incorporated everything I enjoy, and I suspect I will illustrate fairytales and unicorn stories in the future! However, the most heartfelt feedback I have received has been regarding my Saint books. To be an instrument in the faith walk of child is priceless. I am honored to be called to this work.

Who is your favorite Saint?

All the Saints I include in my books have a special place in my heart. I have had a long-time friendship with John Paul II and Thérèse of Lisieux, and recently I’ve been particularly fond of Bernadette as I visited Lourdes several times recently.

Are you going to make more books?

Yes! The most requested book, a book for boys to pair with Princesses of Heaven, is in development right now.

What can we expect to see in the future?

I have a long list of volumes that I’d like to produce as well as clothing, toys and merchandise.

With Joy,
