Ana Sender Author & Illustrator

Isabel Otter is a children's book editor and writer. When not writing, you can find her climbing mountains in muddy boots, squirrelled into an armchair with a novel and a cup of tea or tending to her potted plants. Ana Sender was born in Terrassa, Barcelona, Spain. As a child, she loved to draw, write, and imagine all kinds of stories. Then she grew up (although just a little bit) and studied painting and illustration at Escola Massana in Barcelona. Her dreams have always played an important role in her work; she lives a second life there that she tries to remember when she wakes up. She likes werewolves, surrealism, and swampy places.
