Biography
Bontigao, born in the Philippines, moved to the United States and, when she could not find an art-related job, worked in finance in New York City. In 2020, Bontigao won the inaugural Tomie dePaola Professional Development Award from the Society of Children’s Book Writers. She is known for featuring diversity in the characters of her books. Bontiago illustrated Cindy Wang Brandt's You Are Revolutionary (2021). The International Examiner wrote positively of Bontigao's illustrations. A Publishers Weekly review said, "Bontigao’s bright, approachable illustrations trace a parallel narrative of children of varying abilities, ages, religions, and skin tones". Kirkus Reviews wrote positively of Bontigao's illustrations in The World's Best Class Plant (2023). Her first book as both author and illustrator, Sari-Sari Summers (2023), was described as a "gentle, spare narrative" with "softly textured illustrations" by Kirkus Reviews. She lives in New Jersey.
