Contributor Bio(s): Alvarado, Andrea E.: - ANDREA SAROYA (AKA Andrea E. Alvarado) has been drawing since she was three years old. At first, a normal thing for any kid, the difference is, she never stopped. The beautiful jungles and beaches of her home country Panama and the clear star-lit nights she encountered in Taos, New Mexico, USA, many years ago, inspire her. She became a Children's Book Illustrator because it gives her the freedom to imagine, to use colors in many ways and be humorous as well.

She graduated from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, with a degree in French and English.

After her 30-year teaching career, she now dedicates her time to writing bilingual children's stories and to laughing, especially at herself. Pat resides in Panama with her husband.
