Interval on the bench

Back from the book fair with promising prospects (will let you know once they are finalized) 

and lots of new ideas and inspirations. While I look through the materials gathered and try to figure out

 what to post and how to sort it, enjoy this lovely and dreamy animated video by Kitty Crowther

 and Bruno Salamone, discovered thanks to Le figure dei libri. Kitty, an acclaimed Anglo-Swedish

 illustrator living in Belgium, just won the Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award.
