When Teresa Martínez was a child, her family moved from a small town to the city. Drawing helped shy Teresa connect with other kids at school. Now she connects with children across her homeland in Mexico and around the world through the books she illustrates, including the How to Explain Science to a Grown-Up series, Mario and the Hole in the Sky, and Again, Essie? Teresa is a 2025 CBC Best STEM Books Award Winner for How to Explain Robotics to a Grown-Up.
