Gabriela Lyon is an artist and illustrator whose books include
A Small History of a Disagreement (Greystone Kids). She studied visual arts at the Finis Terrae University in Santiago, Chile, where she now teaches drawing classes. Gabriela traveled to the Chilo� Archipelago while drawing the storyboards for this book, and the region's green light and cold humidity inspired her even as she worked during the 2020 COVID-19 lockdowns. In 2021, the Chilean Ministry of Culture honored the art of
9 Kilometers with the Cor� Mention for illustration. Visit Gabriela's website at
