Author Notes:	Cynthia Levinson is the author of nonfiction books for young readers that focus on social justice, including The Youngest Marcher , The People's Painter , and Fault Lines in the Constitution . Her books have received the Sibert Medal, the Carter G. Woodson Book Award, the Jane Addams Children's Book Award, and numerous other honors. She has two daughters, two sons-in-law, four grandchildren, and two grand-dogs--all of whom are thoroughly splendid. Cynthia and her husband divide their time between Austin and Boston, which, helpfully, rhyme, in case she gets lost. Mirelle Ortega is a Mexican writer and artist based in Los Angeles. She is the author-illustrator of Magic: Once Upon a Faraway Land , a Pura Belpré Honor Book, and the illustrator of several books, including Small Room, Big Dreams: The Journey of Julián and Joaquin Castro by Monica Brown and Free to Learn by Cynthia Levinson .
