Since 1994, Antonio Sacre has been commissioned by numerous cultural organizations to create specific stories, plays, poems, and articles.  Some of the commissions include: The Smithsonian in Washington DC, The Getty in Los Angeles, Teaching Tolerance Magazine, Angels Studio in Chicago, and National Public Radio.

• In 2003, Sacre's first children’s book, The Barking Mouse, was published by Albert Whitman and Company.  It has fast become a staple in many classrooms and libraries in the United States because of its humor, multicultural message, and emphasis on the importance of speaking other languages.

• His next two picture books will be published by Abrams Books for Young Readers in 2010. A Mango in the Hand follows a young boy’s desire on his special day to pick mangoes from a mango tree. When he is thwarted, his father gives him special dichos (proverbs) to help him get the task done. To see Antonio telling his story of A Mango in the Hand to a young audience, click here. La Noche Buena – the Good Night shows how a little girl celebrates Christmas Eve with her Cuban relatives in Miami’s neighborhood of Little Havana.
