My name is Serena Arvayo. I wrote 'a Friend like Zeek' to inspire and to be a tool in educating children and families on our true life story of my son Ezekiel, "Zeek", who lives with moderate-severe Level 3 Autism and uses non-verbal communication with his AAC device. Our dream is to bring awareness to the importance of inclusion , acceptance, and befriending those with Autism and developmental disabilities. You can find our book in English and Spanish on Amazon.com and in select libraries in Northern California!

We are also passionate about hosting events/ collaborating with other nonprofits for the special needs community in the Bay Area of California. All book proceeds help fund our events throughout the year. Stay connected with us on social media for more information on any upcoming events!

Interested in having our book read in your classroom? I LOVE doing readings of our book, most children are curious and ask questions after the story, this gives more opportunity to further educate. Please use our contact form to reach out to me for avalibility! :] Thank you.
