My new Workshop on Illustrating for Children

More info here

We were Live at the Museum of Modern Art in Bogota

It was a great opportunity to talk about how picture books are children's first museums of art and how to develop their critical thinking through stories. Thanks to Marcela Escovar and to the Museum of Modern Art for the invitation.






And here is the interview (in Spanish)

Hungry Bunny a Leipziger Reading Compass


The Leipzig Reading Compass award for Hase hat hunger. A selection of titles that combine reading fun with creative approaches to promote reading. Winners are selected from all new books published in Germany within the last twelve months.

My new book and the creative process


They say in Japan that art is the illusion of spontaneity. When I read to children, this question is recurrent: “How long did it take you to make that book?” Sometimes I reply “all my life.” This is a book about the process of creating a picture book and also about the process of creating a drawing for the emperor. A book that was long in its conception finally lands on paper to be digested by readers now and in the future.
