The Author/Illustrator
Carmen Lomas Garza was born in Texas, USA, very close to the Mexican borders. »I wanted to become an artist already as a child. Every day I was drawing and painting. Later I studied art, and became eventually an artist. My family always was encouraging me and inspired me in my creative development. This book contains the memories and pictures of my family.«
