Alberto Blanco

Alberto Blanco is one of Mexico's most outstanding poets. He is the award-winning author of over 20 books, including The Desery Mermaid published by Children's Book Press.

Rodolfo Morales was one of Mexico's greatest artists of his time. His works can be seen in museums and galleries around the world. He created the collage pictures in Angel's Kite especially for Alberto Blanco's story, which was in turn inspired by Rodolfo's own childhood as a kite maker in his beloved town of Ocotlán, in the state of Oaxaca, Mexico.
