About the Author:

Monica Wellington was born in London and lived in Europe until she moved tothe United States at age seven. As a child she always loved to draw andpaint, but it wasn't until she went to college that she realized she wantedto be an artist for her profession. She went to the University of Michigan'sSchool of Art to earn her BFA and studied pottery, painting and printmaking.After art school, while traveling and living in a number of differentcountries, she had various art related jobs, which were all good backgroundand preparation for doing children's books.She has both written and illustrated the majority of her books. She says,"I usually start a book visually, with an idea of what I want to paintpictures about. The pictures may come first before the words for me. Boththe pictures and words go through many revisions, and I am often stillworking on the final words after I finish the pictures."She says that doing children?s books is great. "I get to have a job where Ispend my days doing totally what I love to do. And it is very gratifyingthat my work goes out into the world and is shared with other people. Ifeel incrediably lucky for all this!"Since 1994 she has taught illustration at the School of Visual Arts. Shelives in New York City with her daughter Lydia.

From School Library Journal:

PreSchool-Grade 2–This simple story of an apple farmer has been translated into unadorned Spanish. From the harvest, through the processes involved in making cider, applesauce, and pastries, which she sells along with "las [manzanas] m�s hermosas" at a farmer's market, Ana's round of continual work is represented as vocational and deeply satisfying. The translation is simple and loses some of the adjectival embellishment of the original, but is true in sensibility. The large-type Spanish text is on top of each verso with a smaller font, English translation on the bottom. The facing illustrations are clean and bright cartoons, with the shapes outlined in black or red. They have a busy, primitive charm, a cross between the work of Lois Lenski and Grandma Moses. Words in the illustrations have been left in English, but they are translated on an appended page. Two Spanish-language recipes, one for applesauce and one for apple muffins, are included. Use this title with Pat Hutchins's Ten Red Apples (Greenwillow, 2000) for a primary look at apples and apple farming.
