About the Author

Armin Lopez Bonifacio is an instructional systems designer and educator with a deep commitment to helping students grow both in and beyond the classroom. He has worked closely with high school students, particularly in developing essential skills like time management, organization, goal setting, and self-advocacy. Drawing from his classroom experience—especially teaching Strategies for Success—he created The Life Skills Playbook Series to equip teens and young adults with the tools they need to face real-world challenges with confidence.

Outside of teaching, Armin writes as a hobby. He finds inspiration in life’s simple, often overlooked moments: a blind puppy, a weathered boat, a dot on a page, or an old shoe dangling from a wire. Through these stories, he celebrates relationships, imagination, and life’s vibrant adventures—especially learning, art, and humor. His children’s books carry timeless values and a lasting spark of curiosity, with dedications that reflect his unwavering belief in inclusivity and belonging.

His passion is to empower young minds—to help them discover their strengths, embrace who they are, and believe in what they can become.
