Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Andrea Jáuregui De La Torre is a children’s book author who has devoted her life to educating parents about baby and childhood milestones. She earned her undergraduate degree in Elementary Education and in Literature from the University of Dallas and is currently working toward a master’s degree to be a family therapist. Andrea uses her expertise, her experiences as a mother, and her memories of growing up in Mexico, Brazil, Spain, and the US to craft stories about multicultural experiences and childhood. Her first book, My Own Bed, focuses on the nuances of childhood sleep needs, patterns, and quirks. In The Dia de Los Muertos Story, Andrea engages kids with a fun narrative that shares lessons of family and culture surrounding the beloved holiday. Andrea now lives in Texas with her husband, Joe, and their three young children.

Laura González was born in Monterrey, Mexico, an industrial city surrounded by mountains, which she always misses when she travels. From a young age, she would draw her own stories inspired by her cats and turtles. Laura believes that every single thing has the potential to trigger inspiration and that images are a bridge to express beyond words. Laura’s art revolves around different themes that are lighthearted, humorous, introspective, or spooky, and she especially enjoys drawing animals, plants, and very cute characters. She also loves learning new things with the projects she illustrates. In her spare time, she enjoys music, reading, gardening, her pets, food, and perfumes (amazing what a scent can evoke!), and hopes to one day have a beautiful garden. Find Laura at @laugonzalezillu.
