Author Information

Rafael A. Osuba (n. 1967) es un artista visual, productor cultural y cuentacuentos. Le apasiona compartir recuerdos e historias de su querido Puerto Rico. Creció en el Barrio La Mineral en Mayagüez, Puerto Rico, y a menudo encuentra inspiración para sus relatos en esas entrañables experiencias de la niñez en Borikén.""Las ilustraciones son mi humilde intento de un estilo único de linograbado. Son un guiño a los influyentes carteles y libros del gobierno de Puerto Rico (Libros para el Pueblo) de DIVEDCO (años 50-60)-incluyendo obras de artistas como Rafael Tufiño y Lorenzo Homar, a quienes respeto y admiro mucho-y también a los clásicos libros de cuentos de hadas que disfruté de niño.""Osuba cree que es esencial enseñar a los niños el valor de preservar la cultura y de destacar la belleza y positividad diaria que nos rodea. Aboga firmemente por que los niños se vean representados en los libros que leen, sin importar su origen cultural, étnico o socioeconómico. Para él, los libros infantiles bilingües y biculturales son cruciales; ayudan a los niños a comprender su propia cultura y sus orígenes ancestrales, vivan en su país natal o en el extranjero.Osuba tiene tres hijos adultos: Raffi, Gabbi y Leilani. Vive en la ciudad de Raleigh, Carolina del Norte, con su esposa, mejor amiga y musa, Michelle.Rafael A. Osuba (b. 1967) is a visual artist, cultural producer, and storyteller.

Growing up in Barrio La Mineral in Mayagüez, Puerto Rico, he often draws inspiration for his stories from those cherished childhood experiences in Borikén. ""The illustrations are my humble attempt at a unique linocut style.

Osuba believes it's essential to teach children the value of preserving culture and highlighting the daily beauty and positivity around us. He strongly advocates for children seeing themselves represented in the books they read, regardless of their cultural, ethnic, or socioeconomic background. For him, bilingual and bicultural children's books are crucial; they help children understand their own culture and ancestral origins, whether living in their native country or abroad.Osuba has three adult children: Raffi, Gabbi, and Leilani.
