Judge's Comments:
A picture book salutes to the Italian
filmmaker Federico Fellini. What is challenging is that the illustrations
using Federico’s
childhood hero——Pinocchio as the character, bands his own growth story
with his achievement in making films via a surrealistic way of storytelling.
The illustrations are so full of expressiveness, combined with a little more
mystical figure and color, bringing the readers into a magical world. It also
gives the possibility of building a bridge between different forms of art.
Federico (Kite Edizioni 2014) won Best of the Best award at Little Hakka Internetional Picture book competition in Shenzhen, China.
The other selected illustrators are Catarina Sobral, João Vaz de Carvalho,Emily Hughes, Lili Huang and Ning Zhang.
