I’m happy to share that MY FRIEND HIPPOCAMPUS UNICORNUS has been selected for this year’s BRAW Amazing Bookshelf at the Bologna Children's Book Fair! Written by Jurga Vilė, illustrated by Kornelija Žalpytė, and originally published by 700 eilučių, this picture book was chosen from an incredible 3,858 submissions worldwide!
Earlier this year, the book was also recognized at the Lithuanian Publishers Association Awards, where it won an award for its illustrations. The honour was given for the creative use of various illustration techniques to bring the narrative to life. What a journey so far!
