I can see the seaside when i'm setting on my bed. The salty air coming from the sea enters on my window and i really like to cover myself under a  thick wool blanket. Which is your favourite food? I love bitoque ( a popular Portuguese name for beef steak with a fried egg on top of it, french fries and salad) and of course chocolate mousse. Which is your favourite book? My mom always tell me a lot of stories from this Disney collection, but my favorite is Aristocats. Have you got an imaginary friend? No, i had a lot of real ones, we are always playing outside and seeking new adventures.

Operio

My drawing was not a picture of a hat. It was a picture of a boa constrictor digesting an elephant. But since the grown-ups were not able to understand it, I made another drawing: I drew the inside of a boa constrictor, so that the grown-ups could see it clearly. They always need to have things explained. Little Prince explained. Operio by Bina Baitel Studio.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ARIANNA, HOW OLD R U?

ARIANNA SANGIOVANNI, Ville Villekulla curator How is your bed? Well in VillaVillakulla my bed is, of course, a special one where you sleep with the head at the end and the feet on the pillow! Which is your favourite food? Bloodstained meat, smelly chicken and slimy mushrooms! My favourite meal is apple tart: those enormous ones filled with big chunks of apple, lots of raisins and cinnamon…yummy! Which is your favourite book? I don’t remember the title but it is a big book full of black and white pictures with a boy and a girl explaining through drawings how to realise all sorts of things by using very common everyday stuff. Have you got an imaginary friend? My friends look all rather strange to me, but not imaginary! Nevertheless, my mum always remembers me that Mary Poppins says “never judge things from their appearance, even a carpet bag”! Therefore, my friends could all be imaginary ones! I do not care too much as far as they are fun!

ALEX, HOW OLD R U?

ALEX HOCHSTRASSER, designer How is your bed?
 I love my bed, it’s my castle and hiding place populated by a small and exclusive groupe of favourite plush animals. Which kind of meal you like? We often have lunch at my grandmothers place. I love her apple pancakes and spaetzle with cheese while I detest eating spinache and anything with onions. Your favorite book to read? We have two books about wildlife in the desert and one with underwater creatures which I spend hours browsing in. I remember many of the pictures but for a strange reason it is the smell of the books that resonates most strongly when I open the book again many years later. Have you got an imaginary friend? No, but each of my plush animals has a very strong personality and life of its own…

Champions!

Here is a book for aspiring footballers: for those who are good players, but also for those who are not so good, for those who  don’t know much about it, but also for those who boast about knowing everything about it! Just to say…You will be the Champion!, written and illustrated by Andrea Valente, a book characterized by irony, passion and a good deal of fun; a book to be read together because it teaches how to face the game and the challenge always with a smile on your lips. And that’s why rules are so important, even though nobody likes them!
