Longer Bio
Adriana Hernández Bergstrom is a Cuban American mixed-media illustrator who loves creating charming characters, heartfelt paintings, and sweet imagery for kids and kids-at-heart. Her work can be found on greeting cards, wrapping paper, and in books. She is the author and illustrator of ABUELITA AND I MAKE FLAN (Charlesbridge, 2022), the upcoming TUMBLE (Scholastic, 2023) and COUNTDOWN FOR NOCHEBUENA (Little, Brown, 2023). When Adriana is not flipping flans or chasing tumbleweed, she’s back in her studio staring out the window at the palm trees and rocket launches.
