ABOUT JUDITH...
Judith Valdés B. is an author and illustrator of children’s picture books. Growing up in Mexico, she loved listening to her father tell stories, which were wonderfully simple and short on words yet full of meaning. Often sketching as he spoke, Judith dreamed of retelling his tales one day.
Judith calls San Diego home, but she also lived in Annapolis, Hermosillo, London, Brussels, and Bangkok. She volunteers with charity organizations focused on meeting the needs of children. Of indigenous Mexican descent, Judith celebrates multiculturalism through her writings and illustrations. She is married and has three third culture kids, who inspire her. When she is not in her studio, Judith can be found cooking, stargazing, or looking for books at the library.
