Geneva Bowers is a self-taught illustrator based in Western North Carolina. She loves manipulating color and adding whimsy with a touch of realism and calm. She has worked with Netflix, DreamWorks, Disney, and more. She is the illustrator of the board books GLOW and CURLS.
“This had every right to be as cute as it was. Complete opposites personality wise, these two cousins become roommates in Los Aguaceros and mysteriously obtain superpowers as soon as they move in. An air of mystery (and visions of grandeur) surrounds the optimist and easily distracted fashion designer Kim, coupled with the deadpan and unenthusiastic Jalissa along for the ride. A fun and unpredictable romp with some truly magical girls.” -Bookseller, R.J. Julia
