Včeraj sem prejela testne printe za slikanico ARA IN MEDVED. Lepo je, kar sem videla in izjemno se veselim te knjige. Vsak korak v procesu šteje, od pisanja zgodbe do tiskanja. Ustvarjalci te knjige smo Nina Mav Hrovat (pisateljica), Mateja Sužnik (urednica), Jure Preglau (oblikovalec), ilustrirala sem jaz, izšla bo pri založbi Zala.
I received test prints yesterday via post-mail for the picture book ARA IN MEDVED. So far, so good. Every step in the process of creating a picture book is so important. I can't wait to see it released! The team behind the book is Nina Mav Hrovat (the writer), Mateja Sužnik (the editor), and Jure Preglau (the designer), published by Zala. I illustrated the story.
Today, my day started with a pleasant post-mail delivery. I have received a trophy for the 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝘅 𝗱𝗲𝘀 𝗟𝗶𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝗱𝘂 𝗤𝘂𝗲𝗯𝗲𝗰 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱 award (in a section of 0 - 5 years) for my book 𝘾𝙃𝘼𝙌𝙐𝙀 𝙋𝙀𝙏𝙄𝙏 𝙂𝙀𝙎𝙏𝙀, published by Editions Les 400 coups. The book is available HERE if you wish to have your own copy. My book was first published by Miš Publishing here in Slovenia.
Z veseljem delim naslovnico slikanice 𝘼𝙍𝘼 𝙞𝙣 𝙈𝙀𝘿𝙑𝙀𝘿, ki nastaja pod okriljem založbe Zala. Te dni urejamo še zadnje podrobnosti in knjiga bo nared za tisk. Če bo vse dobro, izide še pred poletjem. Zgodbo je napisala Nina Mav Hrovat, tehnično uredil in za tisk pripravil Jure Preglau, za uredniško delo pa je poskrbela Mateja Sužnik. Ilustriranje je pripadlo meni. In prav uživala sem zraven!
I'm happy to share the cover of the picture book 𝘼𝙍𝘼 𝙞𝙣 𝙈𝙀𝘿𝙑𝙀𝘿 with you. It's going to be published by Zala Publishing. Just a few final touches and it will be ready for print. If all goes well, it will be released before the summer. The story was written by Nina Mav Hrovat, technically polished and prepared for print by Jure Preglau, and edited by Mateja Sužnik. Illustrations were done by me. And I enjoyed it a lot!
Tu in tam se zgodijo tudi obiski v šolah ali knjižnicah. Sedaj poteka mladinski festival Bralnice pod slamnikom, ki ga organizira založba Miš. Lepo mi je, ko se lahko z otroki ali odraslimi pogovarjamo o ustvarjanju ilustracij, knjig in zgodb. Imamo kakšno delavnico, kjer rišemo in preizkušamo meje naše domišljije. Moje zveste spremljevalke so brezbesedilne knjige, zadnja dodana je FINDING FORGIVENES, ki je izšla pri založbi Chronicle Books. Ostali dve, KJE SI? in A SMO ŽE TAM? pa pri Miš založbi. Lepo je.
When invited to events like visiting a school or a library, I bring my books, too. A new addition to my wordless books collection is FINDING FORGIVENESS, Chronicle Books. The books KJE SI? and A SMO ŽE TAM? are published by Miš. I enjoy sharing my experiences of creating books and stories with children and adults during my visits. I love to hold workshops for children, where we draw and talk about everything possible when we dive into our imagination. These days, I'm part of the youth festival Bralnice pod slamnikom organized by Miš Publishing.
Pa jo imam/o! Ponatis brezbesedilne knjige 𝙆𝙅𝙀 𝙎𝙄?, ki je zaznamovala mojo ustvarjalno pot. Z njo sem se v celoti vrgla in predala ilustraciji in veseli me, da še vedno odmeva preko različnih dosežkov.
Začelo se je na ALUO - Akademija za likovno umetnost in oblikovanje s podporo mentorjev in z Andrejo Pogačar, ki je dovolila, da njenega Brčka upodobim v knjigi. Zgodbo pa smo nato nadaljevali skupaj z Miš založbo in mnogimi, ki so odkupili pravice zanjo! Knjigo je v NY odkrila moja agentka Allison Hellegers, z njeno pomočjo je bila objavljena tudi v ZDA pri založbi Chronicle Books!
Knjiga 𝙆𝙅𝙀 𝙎𝙄? je festivalska knjiga Bralnic pod slamnikom, ki jih organizira Miš založba. Če bi knjigo imeli, je na voljo za nakup TUKAJ!
Še zadnje detajle urejamo z založbo Zala, za slikanico, ki jo je napisala Nina Mav Hrovat. Uživala sem v ilustriranju še ene zgodbe s pomenljivim sporočilom. Naslov slikanice pa bom razkrila v enem izmed naslednjih objav.
Here's a sneak peek into a new picture book! We are almost done. Just a few final touches before printing. I enjoyed illustrating another story with a meaningful message, this time written by Nina Mav Hrovat. The picture book will be published by Zala Publishing. I'll reveal the title in one of the next posts!
I love to see my book picked out and introduced to readers and audiences. One such list is on the LET'S TALK PICTURE BOOKS, Crushes of the Week! It's like a warm hug when I see my wordless book FINDING FORGIVENESS in such a good company of picturebooks. If you would like to have it, the book is available to purchase:
Chronicle Books / Amazon / B&N / Bookshop.
