Author Bio
The award-winning author Jernimo Cornelles combines his work as a writer with the stage management, performance, and artistic direction of the theatre company Bramant Teatre and the artistic direction of the Russafa Escnica theatre festival. He has written several plays which have been published in different collections and won numerous prizes, some of which have been translated and performed in countries including Italy, France, and Argentina.
Nvola Uy is a Spanish award-winning illustrator and visual artist, with a degree in Environmental Sciences. She loves nature as much as illustration and, whenever possible, combines both worlds. She makes illustrations for books, campaigns, audiovisual, and murals, as well as illustration and creativity workshops in many corners of the world, convinced that the creative process brings out the best in people and makes us more sensitive.
With a palette of luminous colors and a magical-realistic style, she likes to capture possible and optimistic worlds, that spread love and hope. She has more than a dozen illustrated albums published in English, Spanish, Catalan, Portuguese, German and Swahili, distinguished with several international awards, such as the Silver Medal at the Moonbeam Children's Book Awards for Best Illustrator, and Best Illustrated Album Award at the International Latino Book Awards and the selection Seal Chair of UNESCO for Reading.
