Program Description
Event Details
Author Roxana Burciago visits New Canaan Library to share her book, To My Little Onion. Preview the book, then enjoy book-inspired crafts that celebrate what makes each of us unique! Books will be available for purchase via Venmo (@Roxana-Burciago) during the event. Roxana will also sign any books purchased ahead of the event.
Roxana is a devoted mother of two—a bright and determined son and a loving, spirited daughter. When her son was born with significant developmental delays, her family’s journey became one of unwavering support, tireless interventions, and boundless love to help him grow and thrive. Inspired by her family’s experiences, Roxana felt compelled to write To My Little Onion for her son, her daughter, and other families navigating similar challenges. She wants to remind parents that while the journey may feel overwhelming at first, taking it one day and one layer at a time can reveal incredible growth and strength—not just in their child, but in their family and themselves.
In addition to being an author, wife, and mother, Roxana is a nurse with a PhD in biomedical informatics from the University of Pennsylvania, UT Health Science Center, and Columbia University postdoctoral. She and her family live in Connecticut, where they continue to support and celebrate each step of their unique and beautiful journey.
