Andersen 08

Quiero compartir la alegría de haber quedado como Finalista en el Premio Andersen este año nuevamente: ¡es de locos!!
El ganador en ilustración fue el italiano Roberto Innocenti.
Es un honor increíble para mí estar seleccionada entre tantos grandes talentos internacionales, y espero que este reconocimiento siga abriendo caminos para los artistas argentinos en el exterior. ¡Muchas gracias a quienes apoyaron mi trabajo y a quienes siguen expandiendo las fronteras del libro ilustrado!
