The illustrator and artist Pia Valentinis shares with readers, children, teachers and young artists her experiences: her working method, her way of observing the world. In order to create a book, it is essential to know the technics, and to have the abilities to tame eyes and hands, afterthoughts, moments of despair, new beginnings, doubts about the way to follow.
The book begins with a brief description of the tools and the technics (pastels, collage, photos, watercolors, embroideries...), knowing that technics, style and size can radically change the final result.

With infinite tenderness, she describes this tricky period when little children become more independent and push further and further their limits: the famous terrible two!
