About The Author
Barb Rosenstock
Barb Rosenstock is the author of the Caldecott Honor Book The Noisy Paint Box; Vincent Can’t Sleep; Through the Window; and Mornings with Monet, all also illustrated by Mary GrandPre, as well as many other books. She lives outside of Chicago with her husband, sons, and two big poodles.
Erika Meza is the illustrator of Salsa Lullaby by Jen Arena. She was born in Morelia, in the Mexican state where monarch butterflies go for the winter. She grew up in awe of the phenomenon, and carried the image of the butterfly as a piece of home when she moved to Paris to follow her dream of becoming an author and illustrator. Her themes are born out of the exploration of her migrant essence, her bittersweet relationship with change, and her attachment to innocence and curiosity. She now lives in London.
