About the author

Joe Hayes is one of America's premier storytellers. He grew up in a small town in southern Arizona where he started learning Spanish from his classmates. As Hayes got older, he began reading the work of folklorists and anthropologists and gathering the old stories from the Southwest region. His books have received the Arizona Young Readers Award, two Land of Enchantment Children's Book Awards, the Texas Bluebonnet award, and the National Storytelling Network Talking Leaves Award. He lives in New Mexico.

Mauricio Trenard Sayago was born in Cuba and raised to believe in the power of art to educate and transform the individual and society. His goal is to use his work to simplify or change how people see their current realities so they can make the world a better place. He came to the United States in 2000 and lives in Brooklyn, New York, where he uses painting to create images and explore himself in a different cultural context.
