James Rey Sanchez grew up in Santa Maria, California, where his love for art came from many hours of reading comics, playing video games, and watching 90's Saturday morning cartoons.

He has illustrated Irving Berlin: The Immigrant Boy Who Made America Sing (a Sydney Taylor Notable Book), This Magical Musical Night , and Jonah's Tale of a Whale. In Big Truck Super Wash , the car wash manager closely resembles Sanchez's dad, a truck owner who often enlisted his son when it came time to wash it.
