She loves writing young fact and fiction books to ignite a sense of wonder in children, and has worked on hundreds of titles over the last ten years. Her favorite topics are the natural world, science, history - and even unicorns.
Painting was Isabel Muñoz's favorite game as a child and, as she grew, became her favorite hobby.
