Joana Pastro is the award-winning author of Bisa's Carnaval, Lucas and the Capoeira Circle, and LillyBelle: A Damsel NOT in Distress. Much like Lucas, sometimes she loses her ginga. Luckily, she's always been able to get it back. Originally from Brazil, Joana lives in Georgia with her husband, her three extremely creative children, a rambunctious Morkie, and a needy Maltipoo. Visit her at JoanaPastro.com. Duda Oliva is a Latin American illustrator from Brazil who is deeply inspired by impressionism and magical realism. His art tells stories that hope to empower, comfort, and surprise people through folklore, nature, and South and Central America imagery. In his free time, he can usually be found in museums, parks, or hanging out and drawing with his friends. You can find more of his work at DudaOliva.com.
