A beautifully produced book. Great insights into how some of my favourite picture books came to be.

Un emocionante camino de regreso a varios de mis cuentos favoritos de pequeño. Sin duda, cada uno de sus libros dejó una gran huella en mí y el irlos redescubriendo desde sus procesos de cambio y evolución (tanto en la narrativa como en la ilustración), me hace apreciarlos aún profundamente más.
