This is a book about fear. About how it works, how it takes hold over us, and how it dogs us from childhood to adulthood. But this is also a book about that monster our fear can warp into when it grows too powerful, a phenomenon we are all too familiar with and that more and more of us are struggling against: anxiety. Author and illustrator Amalia Andrade had her own battle with anxiety, and not only did she make it out the other side, she learned sometimes it's the very thing that almost sinks you that can save you.

Amalia Andrade was born in Cali, Colombia, in 1986. She studied literature at Pontifical Xavierian University in Bogotá. She's been drawing forever. She's written for several magazines in both Colombia and the United States. She believes strongly in the power of keeping a diary. When she grows up she wants to be a mix between Sylvia Plath and Tina Fey. She lives in Bogotá with her cats and is the author of You Always Change the Love of Your Life (for Another Love or Another Life). Isabella Corletto was born in Guatemala City, Guatemala. She graduated from Wesleyan University with degrees in English and Italian Studies and speaks Spanish, English, Italian, and Portuguese. She translated Amalia Andrade's Things You Think About When You Bite Your Nails and has published translations in Latin American Literature Today.
