Then it Rained (February 2007)


Rosa was born in Gerona, Spain. She has been drawing since her earliest years and has always wanted to become an artist. She happily places the blame for this single minded determination squarely on the shoulders of Walt Disney and his marvelous imagination.

Rosa has completed a five year bachelor degree in digital design in Barcelona, Spain where she is currently living. In addition to illustrating children's books (she is hard at work on her next book already), she is working as a web designer for a multimedia company.

Rosa loves to express herself through her paintings and to share the happiness, calm and fun she feels when drawing with others. Her favourite reward for sharing her artwork with others is winning a sincere smile from her audience.

Then it Rained is her first children's book to hit the bookstores, but keep an eye out for Caleb and the Mess coming in 2008!
