Grateful shoutout to Peter Barnfather for this incredible cover design & layout, as well as the photographer, Markus Hartel, for generously offering up this photo.
& forever gratitude to Michelle Tudor & the entire @PlatypusPress team for being an absolute dream to work with.
&, of course, cannot say thank you enough to Eduardo C. Corral, Matthew Olzmann, & Raymond Antrobus for these breathtaking blurbs about the book.
Lastly, since I imagine it’ll be an ongoing issue—
HIJITO is pronounced:
“ee-HEE-toe.”
¡Mil gracias!
