Edel Rodriguez was born in Havana, Cuba. He left for America on a boat with his parents and sister when he was eight years old. After they arrived, Edel's extended family came to pick them up, and his cousin brought him the first black-and-white soccer ball he'd ever seen. In Cuba, he only played with plain ones!
Since then, Edel has grown up and illustrated five picture books, including the first Sergio book, Sergio Makes a Splash!, which he also wrote. His Web site is www.edelrodriguez.com. Sergio's Web site is www.sergiothepenguin.com.

The closing chapters of the book pivot to Rodriguez's editorial cartooning and activism against the increasingly autocratic Donald Trump, a man who reminds him too much of Castro with all the scapegoating, hate-mongering, and big lies.
It's a bit wordy for a graphic novel, but Rodriguez's striking art easily offsets any overlarge blocks of text.
