Sara E. Echenique is a Puerto Rican lawyer and children’s author living in South Florida with her three young children, husband, and their Puerto Rican rescue dog, Luna. She acquired a degree in English from Williams College and a law degree from the University of Michigan School of Law. After almost a decade practicing as a litigator in cold New York City, Sara decided to move her family to a place that felt more like her childhood home.

Roaring Brook Press published her debut middle grade book, Hispanic Star: Roberto Clemente in September 2022 in both English and Spanish, which received a starred review from the School Library Journal and was long listed for the SCBWI Impact & Legacy Fund's Russell Freedman Award for Nonfiction for a Better World. In April 2023, Charlesbridge Publishing will publish Our Roof is Blue (Nuestro techo es azul), Sara’s debut picture book, in both English and Spanish.
