The book Piccolo Giardino di Poesie edited by Rizzoli is child-friendly: simple and clear. Reading it, you will discover a wonderful universe, where dreams and reality mix, and every place, every moment and every object becomes the starting point for a fantastic journey. Taking a cue from the singular child he once was, The author, Robert Louis Stevenson, tells us about childhood, portrayed by the dreamlike and melancholic images of Ilya Green.
We really love this book, starting from the dedication by Robert Louis Stevenson to his beloved nanny, Alison. The Piccolo Giardino di Poesie perfectly matches an old author to a young illustrator.
Graphically, it comes through a challenge: the illustrator uses a four colours range, working for a week; the result of these pine green, coral red, yellow and powder pink images is wonderful!
