14/02/202423 de July de 2025Anna Aparicio Shortlisted for the 2024 Bologna Illustrators ExhibitionInternational recognition for the illustrator of Stories, Vegetables and Everything ElseWe’re delighted to share that Anna Aparicio has been shortlisted for the 2024 Bologna Illustrators Exhibition, one of the most important showcases for illustration in children’s publishing worldwide.Although her selection wasn’t directly tied to her work with us, it’s the perfect moment to celebrate the talent behind the cover of Stories, Vegetables and Everything Else, written by Àlex Nogués.A story about vegetables, yes. But also about family, everyday frustrations, and the stories we tell to make sense of things — and to care for one another:Children and vegetables are often an explosive combination.Severo knows this all too well. A few days ago, he lost his temper while trying to get his granddaughter to eat the broccoli he’d made. The whole scene was caught on camera by Abel, his oldest grandson, and now Severo doesn’t know what to do. Will he find a way to stop kids from running away every time vegetables appear on the table?Anna Aparicio’s illustrations capture the humour, tenderness, and subtle complexity of this story with a delicate and expressive touch.To truly appreciate Anna’s work, we invite you to open the book and let the images draw you in.Her international recognition is no surprise to us. We knew we were in good hands from the very first sketch.Congratulations, Anna!
