Minda lives in Minnesota with her husband and three spunky bilingual kids. Their family has created their own brand of "Mexigringo" as they blend their Papi's Mexican culture with their Mami's Minnesotan culture. Minda is a teacher of English Learners at a local elementary school. She is passionate about teaching children to be proud of their bilingual superpowers. She is hopeful that her readers will identify with the Martinez family, and remember that speaking more than one language is one of the many things that can make a kid special.
