Born in Barcelona in 1970, Rocio Bonilla is a children's book author and illustrator. She began her career working in painting, muralism, photography, pedagogy, and advertising, but motherhood inspired her to leave the latter to create hand-painted murals for children's spaces. In 2011, she entered publishing as an illustrator and debuted as an author in 2014. To date, she has published around 50 books, sometimes collaborating with other authors, and her award-winning work has been translated into over 20 languages. She lives in Barcelona.
""PreS–Babymoni—an even younger iteration of the author’s character Minimoni—goes through her nightly routines in these two books. The straightforward plots will be realistic and familiar to kids and their grown-ups: having a bath and trying to find a special toy before bed. Illustrations are simple, with a large, bold character on a solid background. The pencil and watercolor illustrations are rich with charm. Babymoni has an exaggeratedly large head and big eyes. Even her toys have big eyes and little smiles. Back matter features an array of endearing illustrations along with vocabulary words like soap, teddy bear, and rubber ducky. VERDICT Adorably cozy, both books are perfect bedtime stories, either alone or together."" —School Library Journal
