Favorite illustrated book? I have always had a special affinity for "The Adventures of Luccho" by Gianni Rodari with illustrations by Tonya Goranova. This is my favorite book from childhood. The feeling of symbiosis between the text and the illustrations in it is incredible.
What book do you dream of illustrating? There are many works that I would like to illustrate. But working on author's books is a great pleasure for me and my dream is to realize more such projects. Because in addition to illustrating children's books, I discovered that I also really enjoy writing stories for children.
