Alicia Acosta is a professional storyteller from Andalusia (Spain). She works with groups of children in schools and for Government organizations. She combines her background as a psychologist to promote the love of reading in children. She is also a radio announcer and organizes theater workshops.

Mónica Carretero is a renowned illustrator in Spain. She has published more than 70 books in England, Australia, and the USA. She was awarded by the London Children’s Book Fair for her illustrations. She has received five International Latino Book Awards and one Living Now Award.

“Themes of diversity and self-esteem not only fill the sails, but keep firm grasp of the wheel in this nautical caper.”
