What Kind of Book is Home for a Penguin, Home for a Whale

Gallery

    Huge blue whale with swiftest motion, travels far in every ocean. Great white shark gives toothy grin to lure the little fishes in.
    Dainty seahorse, small and frail, holds onto coral with its tail. Cunning octopus in disguise, blends with backgrounds, to surprise.
    Flying fish can leap and glide, above the sea, with fins stretched wide. Sea snail has a pretty shell, which is its home and guards it well.

    Love the illustrations in this one and it has decent cadence—I found myself wishing it was a board book instead of a picture book though.

The Creatives Behind the Book

    Illustrator
    Annalisa Beghelli

    I was born in 1981. I graduated at the University Institute for Architecture in Venice in 2006, than I moved to Milan where I actually live with my family. In 2011 I approached to the world of communication and publishing by attending the MiMaster – master for publishing illustrators in Milan, where I graduated in 2012. Nowadays, I work not only as a freelance illustrator, but I also created my own brand “FAI31” which offers a complete consultation in marketing and communications strategies. A growing demand for social and cultural contents leads every day more people towards those products which provide a bridge to a valuable life experience rather than distant and impersonal ones: this is the reason why FAI31 introduces a new way of communicating that takes into consideration its functional, emotional and educational dimensions.
