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 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.
