In her spare time, you may find her doing DIY projects, such as crochet, watercolor, or origami, baking sourdough bread, and playing with Emilio and her husband Alejandro.

Citlali Reyes is a Mexican illustrator. Since she was a child, she always loved doodling and telling stories through images; this drew her to the enchanting world of illustration where she has resided for almost ten years. In 2014, she partnered with Lil’ Libros to create their first three books, and over time she has illustrated more than thirty bilingual children’s books for the publisher. Now she finds herself in a new adventure of creating her first book as both author and illustrator.
