Author Notes:	Diane de Anda was a third-generation Latina who grew up in Los Angeles. She was a teacher, first of children and teens, and then a professor of social welfare at UCLA. Diane wrote stories from the tales told to her by her great-grandparents and grandmother about their experiences during the Mexican Revolution and beyond. After she realized the need for children's books in which Latino children could see themselves and their families, she also wrote books where they were the main characters. Diane was 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 Tecnol gico de Monterrey and an MFA in visual development from Academy of Art University in San Francisco. Clients include Pixar, Capstone, Valve, HBS Games, DeviantArt, and Google HOLA. Besides working as a visual development artist and illustrator, Gloria likes to spend her time painting in traditional mediums and plein air painting.
