Author Notes:	Lee Merrill Byrd is co-publisher and Editor-in-Chief at Cinco Puntos Press. She has previously authored the picture books Treasure on Gold Street and Lover Boy . She is also the author of the novel Riley's Fire . She loves editing and publishing books that give people insight into unfamiliar worlds and cultures. Francisco Delgado, a fronterizo artist, was born in Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua in 1974. Through out his life he has resided in both twin cities of El Paso and Ciudad Juarez. Delgado's artworks reflect the United States and Mexican Border life and speak to the working class of the barrios. His visual language often uses iconic figures like El Chapulin Colorado, George W. Bush, Tin Tan, Lady Liberty, and Luchadores among many others to convey his political narrative. Even though his body of work is political and his message is direct it is delivered with the dark sarcasm and humor that is often found in Mexican, Chicano and Fronterizo Cultures. He attended the University of Texas at El Paso where he received several honorary awards and a BFA. He received his MFA from the Yale School of Art. His paintings have been on book covers, in national art exhibits, private collections and community institutions. Delgado's first picture book was ¡Si, Se Puede! / Yes, We Can! and his second book, Lover Boy , was also authored by Lee Merrill Byrd. This is his third book.
