Leo Espinosa is a New York Times bestselling illustrator. He was awarded a prestigious Pura Belpré Honor for the picture book Islandborn, written by Junot Díaz, and his illustrations have been featured in numerous publications, including the New Yorker. In addition to his love of drawing, Leo enjoys pedaling up and down the mountains around Salt Lake City, Utah, where he lives; so you could say he’s both like a pencil and a bicycle.

★ “This uproarious picture book works on kids’ funny bones to get across the message that, despite any superficial differences, we humans are all alike. . . . The book’s silliness makes its argument accessible to all.”
