A propos du livre

À propos des auteurs

Querida grew up in Monroe, Wisconsin (USA). She learned to draw from her mother who was an accomplished landscape artist and began selling portraits while still a teenager. She turned to cartooning as a college student and wrote home in comic strip format with "The Adventures of Jacky and Sir" using the family dogs as a substitute for her adventures. While home on break, she created pen and watercolor fashion plates for a local boutique in Monroe, Wisconsin. After college, she became known as "Sally," the pen-named political cartoonist of Two Cents Worth, for the Wisconsin Counties Magazine. Her first picture book was "The Christmas Leprechaun", written as a Christmas present for her father-in-law and his grandchildren. Years later she would study with Caldecott Medal Winner David McLiman, and venture into creating stories and books for her own grandchildren.

Mariela Riva was born in and has always lived in Argentina. As a child she became passionate about languages and literature. From a very young age, she wrote poetry and plays. At the university she studied teaching and English translation. She has worked for many years as an English and Spanish teacher. In 2008 she began doing technical, scientific, and literary translations as a freelancer. With her knowledge of English and her training in literature, literary translation is a perfect combination of her two great passions, and it is a job she thoroughly enjoys. She is now married with three young children and fulfilling her dream of translating children's books which she then shares with her own children.
