About the Author
Diane de Anda, a third-generation Latina, grew up in Los Angeles. She became a teacher, first of children and teens, and ultimately, a professor of social welfare at UCLA. Soon Diane began writing stories from the tales told to her by her great-grandparents and grandmother about their experiences during the Mexican Revolution and beyond. Realizing the need for children's books in which Latino children could see themselves and their families, she also began to write books where they were the main characters. Diane is the author of several picture books, including Mango Moon, 21 Cousins, and The Day Abuela Got Lost. Gloria Felix is a professional background artist from Mexico. She has been a background designer and background painter for animation and holds a BFA in 3D animation from Tecnológico de Monterrey and an MFA in visual development from Academy of Art University in San Francisco.
