Books with author Rocio Bonilla

Lucas was convinced he was born to fly. He spent hours watching birds and airplanes in flight and tried to design his own sets of wings -- many times. But each time they failed. He wrote letters to Santa, pleading for help, but was disappointed with the toy wings and capes he received. Then one day, something magical happened, without him even knowing it. His mother put a book in his hands -- and Lucas began to fly. And fly. And fly. Both a delightful story and a celebration of the wonder of books and their power to transport us to places beyond our imagination.Ages 4 to 8.Hardcover picture book with dust jacket.Full color throughout.42 pages.8-3/4 inches wide by 11-3/4 inches high.Rocio Bonilla was born in Barcelona, Spain, and received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Barcelona.

A sweet and heartwarming story centered around one simple question. Sassy and intrepid Monica loves to paint with a rainbow of colors. One day she wonders, "What color is a kiss?" She paints items and animals she knows in every color she can think of, hoping to discover the answer. Monica sees her world in every color of the rainbow, but this question nags at her. She paints and paints, hoping to discover the answer. Charming text and vibrant illustrations help Monica and her mother demonstrate that love comes in any and every color.

Siblings never get to tell their side of the story (or so it seems).Complete with a unique flip format and Rocio Bonilla's vivacious illustrations that tell each sibling's story, this clever take on sibling rivalry shares two life lessons: sometimes it takes a sibling sharing their side of the story to realize how much they appreciate their other half; and it definitely helps to have someone on your side when a new baby arrives!
