Another Bologna Children's Book Fair wrapped up! Days filled with inspiring meetings with editors, authors, and agent friends, post-fair dinners and encounters, a few missed connections, and even some cancelled flights… the usual whirlwind. 😊

Always a bit hectic, always incredibly fulfilling. 📚✨

Thank you to everyone who came to meet me and for your interest in our books! And a special thanks to our represented Biruta/Gaivota for kindly sharing their table this year, and to Brazilian Publishers for the wonderful welcome at the stand! ♥

See you next year! 👋

The Little Emperor / Pequeño Emperador

What is motherhood like when desire becomes routine? In this powerful picture book, Sara Bertrand explores the contrasts of parenting through the story of a queen who, after asking the fairies for a child, finds herself trapped within the walls of her own castle and overwhelmed by the rhythms of daily life. As the mother retreats into silence and duty, the fairies of the forest accompany the growth of the “little emperor,” endowing him with gifts such as joy and curiosity. With expressive illustrations by Mariana Massarani, the book approaches, with poetry and sensitivity, subjects that invite dialogue between children and adults, including pregnancy, motherhood, and the first months of life.
