Michael Austin has been drawing pictures for about as long as he can
remember, and he's never stopped.
Martina the Beautiful Cockroach:
A Cuban Folktale is his sixth children's book as an illustrator.
Austin's other work includes
Railroad John and the Red Rock Run;
Late for School;
13 Monsters Who Should Be Avoided and
The Horned Toad Prince.
Martina The Beautiful Cockroach: The Art
"Austin's lime-colored Martina, in high heels
and a lace mantilla, appears the picture of maidenly charm." —Publishers Weekly
