Bologna Book Fair

I have been in Bologna for the last few days researching and learning! Met a couple of lovely illustrators who I'll  put up a pic of, and the two books that stood out by miles for me was 'Singing in the Dark' by Caroline Woodward, illustrated BEAUTIFULLY by Julie Morstad and Joelle Jolivet's Zoology.

(not from the book!) 

And Nikko Barber (Who is from Wimbledon of all places!) Love how like me works predominantly on the pooter, but he gets wonderful texture in his illustrations. 

And, in the book shop near the main square, I came upon this book illustrates by Alessandro Baronciani which weirdly looks very similar to the Grimms cover I've just done! Meep!
