Tu non sei più mio amico

-You’re no longer my friend-

Story: Pina Irace / Published by Lavieri edizioni (Italy)

The story, written by Pina Irace, follows a grumpy hippo who impulsively tells a friend, “You’re no longer my friend,” humorously exploring childhood emotions and the impact of thoughtless words.

I brought the savanna animals to life with expressive faces and playful gestures, capturing each character’s changing emotions throughout the story.

The book has also been translated into German and will be published in Germany.
