Princess Jill Never Sits Still

A writer and storyteller who is greatly admired in Spain, Margarita del Mazo has almost twenty books to her name, many of which have been translated into other languages. Among them are the bestsellers Camuñas and The Flock (El rebaño), which won the Madrid Booksellers Guild Award and the Miami Cuatrogatos Foundation Award for best illustrated children’s book. José Fragoso studied Cartoon Animation and Graphic Design in Madrid (Spain) and Illustration at School Of Visual Arts New York. His illustrations have appeared in children's books, magazines, comic books and album artworks in Spain and US. He teaches Illustration at Instituto Cervantes New York and Chicago or United Nations International School, between others. Jose is the in-house illustrator and story-board artist at Picture Farm Production, where he helps their directors visualize their ideas and serves as a valuable member in many of their projects, discussing the relative merits of many decisions from conception to the final product with a clear, strong creative voice. He is a proud member of the Society of Illustrators. He lives in Chicago with his wife, his two daughters and his french bulldog, his hands are always inky and he is 100% feliz.

With its soft colors and Jill's fluffy blonde hair and all that physicality, this picture book just might provide a good reminder to let youngsters alone as they navigate their physical space and that sitting around quietly might not appeal to everyone.---Goodreads-Barbara Ward
