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. (Continued below photo)

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.
