Illustrating a children’s book

My dream come true

I always dreamt of illustrating a children’s picture book. Thanks to Piskechi that dream came true. It was a great pleasure to bring the delightful story of Piskechi to life.

The big journey of a little angelfish Piskechi

E biahe largu di Piskechi tells the story of a little angelfish that is accidentally thrown away by Oma Truus. He travels a long way and arrives in Curaçao where he meets fishes that look like him. One of the fishes recognises him as her lost son Frèdi.
