Meeting Ana Aranda, illustrator of "The Chupacabra Ate the Candelabra"...six years after the book was published

Today, at a Day of the Dead event at the Mexican Cultural Institute in Washington DC, I met Mexican-born illustrator Ana Aranda for the first time.

She exhibited/sold original art from her book Our Day of the Dead Celebration and held court with a steady stream of fans of all ages.

Of note: Ana and I made a book together...six years ago.

Meeting in person was such a long overdue pleasure!
