The family lore around Mariquita is that she started reading at age 2 and hasn’t been without a book since, baffling her family of very occasional readers. Whether historically accurate or not, it is undisputed that she is always in the middle of a minimum of three titles, at least one of which she is just dying to talk about with you. Originally from the Midwest, Mariquita is now contentedly at home in the beautiful Pacific Northwest where one of her major regrets is that she cannot find good Mexican food that reminds her of home. Or maybe she’s just using that as an excuse to buy more cookbooks.
