Andrea Beatriz Arango is the author of the Newbery Honor Book Iveliz Explains It All, the Pura Belpré Honor Book Something Like Home, and most recently It’s All or Nothing, Vale. Andrea was born and raised in Puerto Rico, where she first discovered her love of writing and eventually became a teacher. She then spent a decade in the United States working in public schools and nonprofits. When she’s not busy writing about middle schoolers and their families, you can find her hoping to spot manatees at the beach. Andrea lives in Puerto Rico with her family and two dogs.

school visits

Andrea can only do in-person visits to schools willing to pay her travel expenses from Puerto Rico, so virtual visits are often a lot easier to schedule! Please reach out via the website contact form if you would like to coordinate a visit or workshop.
