About Us

The Squid and the Whale. It all started in 2011 when Renaldo “commissioned” Sarah for a painting of the timeless battle between the two aquatic beasts. (It was really just an equal exchange of goods – custom aquatic painting for red road bicycle.)

We’re Sarah and Renaldo, the dynamic husband and wife team behind Squid and Whale Books, our tiny indie press. You could say one of us is the squid and the other is the whale, each complementing each others strengths while trying to survive life with two ninjas and a small, ever-napping dog named Peanut.

Sarah Momo Romero is an author, illustrator, and artist behind the project.

Renaldo is a TV editor and the honest voice of reason to Sarah’s lofty dreams.

Squid and Whale Books was created from the desire to publish a picture book and tribute to their dear friend, Julio Gosdinski. Join us on this journey!
