AUTHOR BIO
Rosalba Troiano was born in Genoa, Italy and started dreaming about writing books when, as a child, she read Rasmus and the Vagabond by Astrid Lindgren. Since that day, her passion for reading has never stopped, and books for children and teenagers are her absolute favorite. Besides writing, she has an unstoppable passion for theater, as she worked as a set designer and took part in organizing theater productions. Giorgia Broseghini lives and works surrounded by mountains and lakes in a lovely valley near Trento, Italy. She discovered illustration after an adventurous trip through the study of languages and philosophy and studies in Florence where she attended the Nemo Academy of Digital Arts. Drawing has been a lifelong passion and now she knows that it is also the only (and the best) job imaginable. She loves drawing and knows all about birds, flowers, and strange animals like unicorns. She sings while she’s drawing and lets music be her muse. Her bright colors and cute animals make her work joyful and fun; nature is always a big part of her illustrations and she never wastes an occasion to learn. Her clients include Storytime Magazine and Autumn Publishing.
