DAVID BOWLES is an Pura Belpre honor-winning Mexican American author, translator, and educator. David has been fascinated with legends and folklore since he first heard the story of La Llorona from his grandmother Marie Garza. Because of his family's roots in Mexico, he has traveled all over that country studying Indigenous languages, collecting creepy legends, exploring ancient ruins, and avoiding monsters (which he has managed to do so far).
