Launching Poquita’s Garden, Heluna Health’s First Children’s Book

In a small corner of Los Angeles, where green spaces are scarce, a little tree named Poquita stands thirsty and frail. Yet, Poquita is set to do more than survive—she’s about to inspire a community. Poquita’s Garden, created by award-winning artist Lalo Alcaraz, is an exciting new venture produced by Heluna Health, merging community engagement with the pursuit of food access, in the organization’s first-ever foray into publishing. This children’s book centers on a powerful vision: that all families, regardless of background, have access to fresh, nutritious food—and the knowledge to grow it.
