About The Author/Artist:
Cindy Econopouly
Soehner's grandfather, Yorgos Economopoulos, was raised
in a small village
called Zarafona in the Peloponessos mountains of Greece.
He migrated to New York in 1904, where he started an ice cream
shop on Long Island called the Hicksville Sweet Shop.
His oldest son, Nicholas Econopouly (Cindy's father) became a junior high
school social studies teacher in
East Northport, and he later chose to
take his wife and four children to Greece to experience their homeland.
Nicholas first went to Greece on the Fulbright program in 1962 with his
wife and kids.
They returned to New York after one year, but then
returned to Greece again in 1969.
They lived
for six years in a house in Aghia Paraskevi,
a suburb of Athens, near
Halandri where Nicholas taught at (and the kids attended) the American Community Schools.

Cindy at age 7 at the Temple of Hephaistos in Thisseon
Cindy and
her three brothers--Matt, David, and James--attended the American Academy
and the middle school at ACS.
While in her high school years in Greece, Cindy began learning of the value
and technique of the Greek cuisine,
of appreciation for fresh local fruits and vegetables,
of working creatively with small children,
and
of the joys of reading and of writing.
Cindy, her brothers, and her mother,
Riva, all live or work in Carrboro with their families.
