Author Notes:	Jackie Azúa Kramer studied acting and voice at New York University and earned her MA at Queens College for counseling in education. Jackie has worked as an actor, singer, and school counselor. Her work with children presented her with an opportunity to address their concerns, secrets, and hopes through storytelling. Now she spends her time writing children's picture books. Jackie's books include the award-winning The Green Umbrella (a Bank Street College Best Children's Book of the Year), If You Want to Fall Asleep , The Boy and the Gorilla , and Empanadas for Everyone . Jackie lives with her family in Long Island, New York. When not writing, you'll find Jackie reading, watching old movies, and travelling to her family's roots in Ecuador, Puerto Rico, and Spain. Lenny Wen is an author and illustrator who was born in Indonesia. She is the illustrator of several picture books, such as Cal Everett's Halloween Is Coming! , Amy Robach and Andrew Shue's Better Together! , Jackie Azúa Kramer's Empanadas for Everyone , and Jane Park's Outside Mom, Inside Mom . Lenny currently lives in Austria. When she is not illustrating or writing, you might find her staring at the trees, contemplating story ideas, reading books, filling up her cup with coffee, or hugging her dog.
