About The Illustrator
Estelí Meza grew up surrounded by books, and her love for illustration began when she attended la Feria del Libro Infantil y Juvenil with her father. In 2018, Estelí was awarded A la Orilla del Viento, the premier picture book award in Mexico. Finding Home was her author-illustrator debut in the United States, published by Scholastic. She has also illustrated books published in Mexico, Spain, and the United Arab Emirates. Estelí spends her days drawing in her neighborhood in Mexico City and is always happiest with her notebook and pencil, and a chocolate pastry and cafecito. Visit her at estelimeza.com

"Young readers are given the tools that they need to understand peace and how they create it in their own lives."
– Kiss the Book
"A meditation on the idea of peace, with actionable ideas for increasing peace and making the world better. Small things like pronouncing people’s names correctly to big things like respecting our planet and each other. These lush illustrations are full of plant and animal life. The authors’ note dives into how war doesn’t just hurt humans, so the message of peace is woven with protecting the earth.”
