Thomas Gonzalez has been drawing since he was a child in Havana, Cuba. A Spanish speaker, Thomas didn’t know the English language when he migrated with his family to the States, so it became even more natural to express himself in pictures. Express and impress, we might add! Gonzalez’s debut picture book, 14 COWS FOR AMERICA, received many starred reviews—SLJ described it as “exquisite”—and made several national bestseller lists, including the NYT, which hailed Gonzalez’s illustrations as “beautifully evocative.” Most recently, COUNTDOWN: 2979 DAYS TO THE MOON received three starred reviews, a Parents’ Choice Gold Award, and was named an Outstanding Science Trade Book for Students K-12.
