| Author Notes: | Costantia Manoli , award-winning author of Tomatoes in My Lunchbox , was born in the United Kingdom to Cypriot parents. She spent the picture book period of her life in London contending with a name that even she has difficulty pronouncing in English, and her middle-grade and young adult years in Cyprus, the USA and the UK. She now lives on the outskirts of a hot, dusty village in Cyprus where her two daughters, hubby, lioness-dog Luna and hyperactive doggo Woody keep her busy in a tangle of story ideas, new characters, and constant interruptions. |
