About the Illustrator

Sarah Grepo was born in Long Beach, California, brought up by her mother, Narcisa, and her father, Arminio, along with her older brother, Erik. She has spent most of her life in Claremont, where she was the author’s student during high school, taking Freshman English and AP Literature. Passionate in drawing ever since she could hold a pencil, she is currently honing her skills as an Art student at CSU Fullerton, in honor of her grandfather, Deo Grepo, whom she has admired for his illustrations and comic books. She dreams of following in his footsteps as an illustrator, but with an emphasis in digital art.

“In this combination picture–activity book and memory album, parents affectionately envision the firsts in their new child’s life . . . à la an energetic reversal of Goodnight Moon. . . .
