Ana Sender was born in Terrassa (Barcelona), Spain in 1978.
She studied Fine Arts and illustration at the Massana Art School in
Barcelona, and completed her studies at the Francesca Bonemaisson
school. She draws, writes, and imagines all sorts of stories. Her

[Sender's] subdued color palette, mastery of facial expressions,
and control of movement make her drawing style come alive. If at
first the illustrations seem simplistic, look again. Really look at
how the scenes she creates impacts the written text, and suddenly
the drawings will take on a deeper significance. --
D'Aulaire's Book of Greek Myths for a new generation, this
beautifully illustrated selection from Ovid's Metamorphoses will
introduce kids to some of the well trodden myths alongside the less
while known stories of transformation.--
This lovely retelling of the Roman poet Ovid's masterwork
Metamorphoses will introduce these stories to a whole new
generation of readers. The emphasis here is on Ovid's telling, a
facet that's often missing from mythology collections for
children...Readers hungry for stories filled with mythological
beings will appreciate these novel entries and Janish's text (via
Wilson's translation) is lyrical, suspenseful, and strange. --
"Each of these mythical stories is rhapsodically illustrated and
adds a dreamlike quality to the seventeen stories..."-- "Seattle
Book Review"
