Nora Hilb is truly an international star. Worldwide, she has illustrated dozens of picture books and board books, and her work has won numerous awards. Nora was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and she sill lives there, dividing her time between the seaside and the city. Because Nora’s parents were both from Germany, she grew up speaking German, later learning both Spanish and English.
Nora is grateful to have the chance to work and grow in a profession she has embraced so deeply. As a child, she loved drawing more than anything else, though she never imagined it would become her profession. “What I like most,” she explains, “is to illustrate picture books with animal characters that combine humor and gentleness. I want to be able to transmit through my illustrations all the passion and joy I feel when I create them.” And so she does!
