About the Author
Christina Diaz Gonzalez is an acclaimed author whose works draw deeply from her Cuban-American heritage, blending historical events with compelling personal narratives that resonate across generations. Born in Miami to Cuban immigrant parents, she grew up immersed in stories of resilience and cultural displacement, which profoundly influence her storytelling. Gonzalez's debut novel, The Red Umbrella, transports readers to 1950s Cuba during the rise of Fidel Castro, following a young girl's harrowing journey to the United States through Operation Pedro Pan. With a masterful touch, she explores themes of family, identity, and the immigrant experience, earning praise for her vivid prose and emotional depth. A former teacher and librarian, Gonzalez now dedicates herself to writing middle-grade and young adult fiction that educates and inspires young readers about Latinx history and culture.
