Editorial Reviews

Review

'A gripping story that is simply packed from cover to cover with historical detail.'
– Midwest Book Review

�Nicely illustrated, simple enough for a young reader to get a glimpse into Scottish history... This would be a good pre-reader to those who may enjoy, but are a little too young for the �I Survived� books. May also introduce to those who enjoy American Girl books. 4/5�
– Youth Services Book Review

'This is a beautifully illustrated and fun book that explores an exciting but lesser known story from Scottish history in an accessible and interesting way that parents and children will enjoy reading together.'
– GeekMom.com

    During her early childhood, Teresa lived in a small town north of Mexico, playing in the river, walking with the cows, and feeding the neighbor’s pigs. When her parents decided to move to the city (Monterrey) to give Teresa and her brothers a better education, she spent these later years missing that quiet life. Teresa was a very shy girl at school, and drawing helped her connect with other kids.

    There was no career for Illustration in Mexico in those days, so Teresa decided to study Graphic Design and spent many afternoons reading books on art in the university’s library. She also took many painting courses and even went to Italy for a short course at the Leonardo Da Vinci School (Florence). Eventually, she started working as a children’s book illustrator and been doing that ever since.

    Now Teresa lives in Puerto Vallarta, drawing for kids (as she did in her school). Every other day, she gets to see the cows outside her house. And that makes her happy.
