She was born in Mexico City on Christmas Eve in 1967. She is one of the leading Mexican writers of children's and young adult literature. Norma weaves her narrative worlds from curiosity, research on the various topics that interest her, observation, and wonder. Some of her stories —such as Matemágicas, Bestiario de seres fantásticos mexicanos, and Supernaturalia— arise from her eagerness to recognize the vigor and symbolic presence of Mexican tradition and mythology. She is the author of more than thirty books for children and young adults, among which, in addition to those mentioned, stand out: El nuevo restaurante de Pierre Quintonil, Polvo de estrellas, Peligro de suerte, Tú y Yo, El taller del ermitaño, and Los cazadores del Big Bang.
