Karla Arenas Valenti

Karla Arenas Valenti grew up in Mexico, a land of great myths and many legends. From a very young age, she loved to lose herself in stories (and, in fact, she considers herself the very first Legendario). As a grown-up, she still loves losing herself in stories and especially loves creating adventures for readers to do the same. In addition to chapter books, Karla is the author of many picture books and middle grade novels. She currently lives in the Chicagoland area with her husband, three kids, two cats, and hundreds of books.
