About the Author
Rachell Abalos remembers her childhood in the Philippines, taking naps, eating ice buko, and listening to her Inang sing Bahay Kubo. She currently lives in southern California, USA, with her husband and two kids, where she writes stories about her Filipino culture. Our Nipa Hut is her debut picture book. Gabriela Larios grew up in El Salvador, surrounded by volcanoes, Mexican ceramics and tropical flowers grown by her mother, a floral designer. In 2007, thanks to an EU scholarship, she received her Masters from Camberwell College of Arts in London, UK, where she has been living ever since with her family. Gabriela approaches every project as a new adventure -- she experiments with different techniques like collage, gouache, pen and ink and more. She draws inspiration for her work both from her childhood in El Salvador and her years in England.
