The award-winning author Irene Aparici was born with a notebook in
one hand and a pencil in the other. She has lived in Spain and in
Ecuador. As a professional, she has worked mainly in the financial
sector, but has also worked as a professor at a university, a rural
estates administrator, a mediator in extrajudicial conflicts, and
an international cooperator. In 2011, Irene was diagnosed with
breast cancer, to which she lost her battle in 2014.
The award-winning author and illustrator Mónica Carretero was born
in Madrid but now lives in Segovia. She is self-taught and her
colourful and vivid illustrations have received international
recognition and she is now a very succesful illustrator of
children's picture books.
"A homespun tale resounding with contemporary issues, mainly that of a mother facing cancer and the subsequent prospect of explaining her illness to her beloved sons. The picturesque illustrations, compelling conceptualization, and poignant story of a mother's struggle to survive will both inform and stimulate children." --Kathryn Diman, Bass Harbor Memorial Library (Bernard, ME)
