About the Author
J. R. Krause and Maria Chua are a husband and wife team and live near downtown L.A. They are brave eaters! They once ate grasshoppers in Mexico. In case you're wondering, fried grasshoppers (chapulines) taste like potato chips. They've also eaten tiny cooked worms in Southeast Asia. Maria attended the University of Madrid in Spain and lived in Mexico. She is a bilingual psychiatric social worker in Los Angeles. She loves practicing kung fu and piano, but rarely at the same time. J. R. is an artist, designer, and animator working in television. He currently is a designer for The Simpsons. His favorite food is spaghetti, without grasshoppers. POCO LOCO is their first book. They had a blast making it!
