My first published book as an author (wordless books count, right?)—and in Italian! I was already over the moon to be a finalist in the Silent Book Contest 2024, and now seeing this story published by Carthusia feels even more special. The book will be in Italian bookstores starting May 23rd.

A #giraffe mum and her cute little child looking up to her. Always learning new things to thrive in the world.🦒☀️

I’ve been trying something new, a #illustration series about baby animals with their mothers, using flat colors instead of black outlines. I quite like the final pieces!
