En una entrevista reciente, la Señora Sánchez habló sobre los logros de sus dos hijos: Carmen y Miguel. Recordando unos eventos pasados, la Señora Sánchez confirmó la importancia de leer diariamente. Dijo en la entrevista en vivo en Canal Estrella, "a los tres años, Carmen mostró su obsesión con la lectura. Pasaba horas cada día leyendo cuentos, revistas y periódicos". Actualmente, Carmen, es reconocida como una de las escritoras más famosas de Valencia a causa de sus cuentos para niños.
Al hablar de su hijo, Miguel, la Señora Sánchez comenzó a derramar lágrimas de alegría. A los quince años, Miguel ganó el premio nacional de poesía y representó su país en un concurso de poesía internacional. "Su talento se destacó a los ocho años," añadió esta mamá. "Escribió su primer poema para agradecer a la bibliotecaria por permitirle pedir prestados libros adicionales."
La Señora Sánchez atribuyó el éxito de sus dos hijos al amor verdadero por la lectura. Recomendó a los padres el valor de animar a sus hijos a que visiten la biblioteca en sus escuelas y en sus comunidades.
