About The Author
Orlando Mendiola
Orlando Mendiola is a Mexican American author from San Antonio, Texas. He is a graduate of the New School and the proud owner of three Chihuahuas: Rusty, Ranger, and the famous Pearl. He spent his childhood making tamales with his grandma and family every Christmas. He hopes to inherit his family’s secret tamale recipe one day.
Teresa Martinez lived in a small town in the north of Mexico during her childhood, playing in the river, walking with the cows, and feeding the neighbors’ pigs. When her family decided to move to a bigger city, she became a very shy girl at school. Drawing helped her connect with other children. Listening to music has helped her imagine different places and times and has been a great source of inspiration. When she grew up, she studied graphic design and traveled to Italy to learn traditional painting techniques. Today she lives in Puerto Vallarta, drawing for kids as she did during her school days, and that makes her happy.
