Her expertise in children’s books comes from her 18-year career in early childhood education where she helps parents prepare their children for school success. She is the author of two bilingual children’s books and is the founder and owner of Skillful & Soulful Press. Reynaldo Mora is a figurative artist with extensive experience creating fine art with acrylics, chalk, pastel, oils, photography, and mixed media. He is currently pursuing a Master’s Degree in ceramics. The source of inspiration for many of Reynaldo’s art pieces comes from the cultural wealth that he inherited from his Mexican ancestors. The theme that most resonates with Rey’s artwork is movement because he feels that there is life, progress, and growth in movement. Rey has a Bachelor’s Degree in Studio Art from California State University, Long Beach. He is the co-founder of Skillful & Soulful Press. His first illustrated children’s book, Mommy, Tell Me Why I Am Radiant, won two International Latino Book Awards. He lives, works, and plays in Whittier, CA.
