About me

Sergio Rolando Alcantara

Creator of Big Sal's World · Say it Fancy Productions

I'm Sergio, though most people call me Mike. I'm the creator of Big Sal's World, the cartoon town where good values make a better city. I write the picture books and the songs of the Say It Fancy Band, and I made Fancy Bot so anyone can hear a hard AI answer explained by a friendly character, in words that work for them.

I was born in Cuba and came to the United States when I was seven, not speaking any English. I know what it's like when the words go over your head, and I've worked hard ever since.

I've had a blessed life. I got to retire early, and now I spend my time making things that share the core principles and values that helped me: Big Sal's 15 true guiding principles, one book and one song at a time. Fancy Bot carries those same values: kind, honest, family-friendly, and always keeping the facts straight.

This is growing through word of mouth, not expensive ads. If you like it, share it!
