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 10 years.

In 2014, she partnered with Lil Libros to create their first three books and over time she has illustrated more than 30 bilingual childrens books for the publisher.

Now she finds herself in a new adventure of creating her first book as both author and illustrator.

When she is not drawing for countless hours, Citlali enjoys reading, stargazing, or playing around with her camera.
