About Ma Cecile Delotavo

Ma Cecile Delotavo believes kids are braver than they think.

She writes stories because she wants young readers to know this truth: even when the world feels uncertain, they carry light inside them that fear can never take away.

About Her Work

Ma Cecile is the author of The Codekeepers of Calvary Lane, a 25-book adventure series for ages 8–12 that blends courage, humor, friendship, and faith.

The first book, The Courage Code: Secret of the Forgotten Compass, begins the journey of five friends chosen to protect the world from shadows that feed on fear. Guided by a mysterious lion, the Codekeepers discover that true courage isn't about being fearless—it's about choosing love, even when it's hard.

She created this series to inspire kids to see themselves as heroes in their own lives—capable of courage, kindness, and unity when it matters most.

Beyond Writing

When she's not writing, Ma Cecile can be found reading, sketching new ideas for the Codekeepers, or sharing snacks with her family while dreaming up the next adventure. She loves Pixar-style storytelling, and her hope is that The Codekeepers of Calvary Lane feels just as magical, heartfelt, and fun for young readers everywhere.

Her Mission

✨ To tell stories that help kids laugh, imagine, and grow in courage and faith—one page at a time. ✨
