Alebrijes: Animals / Animales

Through the vibrant, mystical imagery of alebrijes, this board book will introduce your little ones to their first set of animals in both English and Spanish! Parents will adore this bilingual English-Spanish board book as it’ll colorfully interpret the animals we know best in their magical, fantastical form of an alebrije – just in time for Día de Muertos.

Hazel Quintanilla has been drawing since she was little and used to carry a pencil and a small notebook in a cute furry bear face purse that her mom bought for her. She also carried cheese cubes in it (ewww!). When she grew up, she decided to follow her passion and studied graphic design, followed by an MA where she specialized in illustration. She has produced work for numerous brands, magazines, and books, illustrating over a hundred children’s books published in the United States and worldwide. Hazel loves animals, pj’s, and her iPad, in which she produces most of her art. She’s the proud mom of 9 dogs and really loves her job and enjoys putting the bold colors and cute shapes living in her mind on paper.
