About the Author
The award winning author Paula Merlan was born a Sunday morning in Vigo (Pontevedra) in Spain. After graduating in Law, she pursued her vocation as an educator, graduating as a teacher years later. The lessons at university promoting reading, encouraged her to start writing stories, and in 2012 she published her first picture book. She won the Children's Books Without Borders Contest by Otxarkoaga with her ?Conoces la magia de Marit?, a book published in Braille in collaboration with ONCE (Spanish NGO for blind people). She also obtained a Special Mention in the Casila Ordolez Children's Books Contest for her Virtuoso Melodias. She currently teaches first grade, and has published ten books, some of them translated into many languages.
The award winning illustrator Blanca Millan was born in a small town in Galicia, Spain. Since she was little she was attracted to the art world, filling the walls of the house with small drawings with waxes. At the age of eight she changed the colored pencils for the brush and when the time came, she studied Fine Arts at the School of Pontevedra. With the arrival of her son, she began to enter the world of children's stories, illustrating small stories, and presenting herself to various contests where she obtained very good results.
Reviews
In illustrations as busy as the Bizzie family, Millan crams in details of the home throughout that reflect the interests of four highly creative individuals (...). A good reminder to keep distraction at bay. Kirkus Reviews
