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..

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.

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.
