Good memories from the Barranquilla Book Fair

 An enlightening conversation about books for small children with Diana Rey from Fundalectura. It was so inspiring to speak having the legendary Magdalena river behind us.

 The Oceano stand at de Bookfair.

A live drawing of my book "La Linea" on a workshop about creativity.

FILBO 2016

The best part of Book Fairs is to get to see good friends from the picturebook world. Here at the Bogota International Book Fair in the company of Jutta Bauer from Germany, Roger Mello and Odilon Moraes from Brazil and Yolanda Reyes, Pilar Lozano and Ivar da Coll from Colombia.
Also, a generous display from Fundalectura, after my 2016 Andersen award nomination.

Five books to celebrate Colombian human diversity

I was fortunate to participate in this committed project by the ICBF in coordination with Fundalectura. Five books in paper and digital format include play songs and lullabies from the diverse Colombian human map. THe project I illustrated included songs from the Nasa, Inga, SIkuani, Caacwa and Totoro communities, five of the one thousand and two indigenous people in Colombia. You can download the digital for your tablet here for free and be able to listen to the songs in their original language. It is a cultural treasure, ignored by our school's colonialist telescope.
