Il Mostro mangia pantofole is a book written by Alberto Bellini and illustrated by me that tells the story of the unique and sweet friendship, born between a friendly Monster and an extraordinary little girl named Marta.
Everyone asks the same question: what does a monster eat? Children? No kidding. Real monsters eat slippers! And if they are foodies, they don’t miss dessert: a tasty bedtime story. Marta knows this, because in the woods she met one. The thing is, monsters are scared to death of children. How to convince him to be friends?
On the occasion of Lucca Comics and Games 2024, I was a guest of the fair together with the Slipper Eating Monster, to make a workshop a workshop suitable for children and their families, on the occasion of the book release. During the national #io leggo perché campaign, the book was chosen by many schools and bookstores, who enthusiastically participated in dedicated activities.
