The year 2012 was a very fruitful year for me: 
on May Centro Editoriale Imperiese (Imperia, Italy)  published my book



I wrote the text and made the illustrations:
It talks about Soul and how it travels and dreams...







On December 2012 another book was published, 
 Un Giro di Giostra,  ed Philobiblon, Ventimiglia.
It is a collection of Rhymes for children.
The Collection has 40 poems and 12  Limericks (inspired by Edward Lear 's)
Each poem has an illustration.It was a second edition, with new poems .
Here are some of them:

What does having heart means?

A Poem on Past and Future Tenses..

The Windy Village..a nice place where everything flies...

Bologna' Children Bookfair 2013




My visit to the Children's Book Fair lasted two days . I wanted to get the best of it and I made  a few hundred photos! 
I made my best to see  most of the stands and keep memory of the beautiful books I saw.








A page from another book by the same author


Other books I liked








I really loved this book where the author  explained plays on words with the help of animals














 So nice this book  by Bruno Heitz










 I found my favourite authors signing books. Here is Fabian Negrin at Orecchio Acerbo


 And here is Lorenzo Mattotti: I bought one of his books and  you can see him signing it! (things only artists love....)


The illustrators' exhibition had a nice arrangement, and


 soldiers almost attacked my trolley!!!

The BOP Prize (best juvenile literature publishers  ) this year went among others to the indian Tara Books. 
 My favourite were this  book  entitled "Waterlife"








and this wonderful  "Drawing from the City", by artist Teju Behan,

 








I could not leave without visiting the beautiful exhibition  "OLTREMAI"  by Lorenzo Mattotti , at the Pinacoteca , which was opening on that monday.
Powerful and mighty 70 x 100 cm. works on paper all black and white . You can also visit the exhibition on You Tube (it is not the same feeling, but you still have idea of the power of this great author.
