Hi, I’m Dominique. I was born in Arras, a little city north of Calais in France. I love reading stories to my children. But most of all I love inventing them! I have a gorgeous turtle called Tarpea and I love doing D.I.Y.
I’m Paola and I live in a fantastic city: Rome! I’ve been drawing and painting since I was young and I like mixing lots of different techniques together. I’ve drawn lots of things from advertisements to books for adults and children. I really like drawing…. and travelling. If you want to know more visit my website www.chx.it
Sophie is asleep in her bed and she is having a lovely dream. She is dreaming about a day at the circus.
What would happen if during the night elephants and lions, musicians and entertainers, clowns and ballet dancers came in your little room?The never ending and fascinating show of the circus seen from the eyes of a curious child in a very poetic tale accompanied by artistic illustrations.
