Esther Gili was born in Madrid (Spain) in 1981. She studied illustration at Art School No. 10 in Madrid. She worked for a decade illustrating textbooks and regularly collaborated with audiovisual production companies doing work for film and advertising. In 2015 she published Encantadas, her first picture book, written by David Aceituno. And she hasn't stopped since! As well as picture books, Ester illustrates notebooks, bags and agendas made by Cuquiland and also has a collection of puzzles. Her favorite technique is watercolor, so she uses it whenever she can. And a common element in her work is women with character, magic and kindness!

Young readers today might be surprised to learn of a time in which women were confined to skirts. Isern's story is a solid introduction to a woman who dared to defy expectations and paved the way for greater freedom and equality for women. - Shelf Awareness Pro.

Isern strikes a good balance between historical fact and a kid-friendly narrative about a spunky girl who just wants the freedom to move and play and make her own decisions. The colorful pencil-like illustrations add to the celebratory and cheerful feel of the text and recall Capetillo's tropical homeland. - School Library Journal.
