Author and illustrator, Marian Flores has spent her life living in small Connecticut towns. She is married and has a son and an elderly cat. She attended Paier School of Art, where she earned a certificate in Advertising and Commercial Art and later Central Connecticut State University, where she was inspired to write this book. Currently, she is an art teacher at a private special needs school. She greatly enjoys her students who are children on the autism spectrum with multiple disabilities.
In this children’s book, Marian, the author showcases a contemporary twist and plays on words with the classic book, Alice in Wonderland, influenced by the author dislikes doing the dishes as a child, and her nieces’ disdain for putting dishes into the dishwasher. The author’s sister had a dream of being inside the dishwasher, which became Marian’s idea to combine all these things in one story.
The main character of this fantasy is a ten-year-old girl named Alisa, who always tantrums about washing the dishes and wishes that she never has to. Her mother heard this and scolded her. Later, Alisa shrank in size and was sucked inside the dishwasher’s magical realm, where she saw strange creatures washing the dishes. She suddenly missed her friends and family and wanted to return to the real world. She made it back into the real world and swore to never again whine about having to do the dishes.
The book “Alisa in Washerland,” Marian Flores aims to teach children the importance of appreciating their family and home life, as well as the value of responsibility. Alisa’s experience in the magical realm serves as a reminder that avoiding chores can lead to unexpected consequences, and that embracing our duties can foster a greater sense of gratitude and connection to those we love. Ultimately, the story encourages children to approach their responsibilities with a positive attitude rather than resistance.
