The 57th Illustrators Exhibition from the Bologna Children’s Book Fair received entries from 4,345 participants from all over the world.
Of those 4,345 entries, there were 315 finalists.
Of those 315 finalists, the jury selected 80 projects. Amongst them there are two Planeta Tangerina books: O duelo, by Inês Viegas Oliveira, and O primeiro dia by Henrique Coser Moreira.
I believe I started to think about this book while I was still working on another one. I had just finished drawing “Aqui é um bom lugar”, written by Ana Pessoa…
We loved to read abou your ideal first day, and the jury didn’t have an easy task choosing the winners. We received almost 30 responses, but these four conquered us:Matilde Inês, João Rebelo, Sara Martins and Vera Esperança. Congratulations!Thank you all for participating.
