Gabriel Pasantes

Gabriel Pasantes is 27 years old and resides in Clermont, He has always enjoyed animation and fantasy readings, and has always had a dream of becoming an author. He was born with 22q11, which is a disorder caused by a defect in chromosome 22. This syndrome can affect and cause heart defects and a defective immune system. He has had two heart defects and a defective immune system. He has had two heart surgeries and one stomach surgery. He also has ITP. What inspired him to write this book was the notion that this book could help many children with disabilities. He feels it could give them a chance to let their imagination run free, at the same time he wants to encourage children never to give up on a dream. A disability does not dictate who you could become, as long as you have the will you are able to reach for the stars.
