Tom and Meihua, una nuova amicizia (a new friendship) is an illustrated children's book that I made in collaboration with the talented writer Romana Petrini.
​
I made the illustrations and the entire graphics of the book.
There are two versions of the book: Italian and French
The drawings and the watercolor are done digitally.
​
The book aims to raise children's awareness of the topic of interculturality, this through the friendship between Tom, a Swiss-Italian child and Meihua, a girl originally from Guangxi in southern China.
Their friendship will make them discover different cultures, and thus will begin a fun and playful exchange of notions about their countries: food, culture, customs and much more. All this will enrich them and will make them discover new horizons.
​

The book is available in Italian or French, for just CHF 20 (€ 18)
