Robert Burleigh

Over the past 35 years, I have published poems, reviews, essays, many filmstrips and videos, and more than 40 children's picture books.

Born and raised in Chicago, I graduated from DePauw University (Greencastle, Indiana) and later received an MA in humanities from the University of Chicago. I've published books for children since the early 1990s. My books - including numerous unpublished ones! - run a broad gamut, from stories geared for pre-schoolers to survival stories and biographies aimed at seven to eleven-year-olds. My work is wide-ranging because, basically, I'm a generalist by experience - and inclination!

In addition to writing, I paint regularly under the art name Burleigh Kronquist and have shown work in one-person and group sho

Cristian Acevedo

Según puede corroborarse en las contraportadas de sus diversos libros, Cristian Acevedo nació en:

Buenos Aires, 1979.
Neuquén, 1980.
Misiones, 1977.
Saladillo, 1980.
Montevideo, 1984.
Rosario, 1986.
Mar del Plata, 1985.
Junín, 1986.

De lo que se desprende que Cristian Acevedo es argentino (aunque puede que uruguayo), que nació entre fines de los 70 y comienzos de los 80 (definitivamente no en 1987). Al parecer, en la actualidad vive en Bella Vista, Buenos Aires, pero puede que en realidad viva en Tortuguitas, en Caballito, en Carlos Paz, en Mercedes.
Hay quienes sugieren que su segundo nombre es Omar, y que por esta razón eligió ese nombre para bautizar al narrador de su novela Matilde debe morir. Por otro lado, puede que su verdadero nombre
