Antonio Ferrara

He was born in 1957 in Portici, in the province of Naples, where he lived until the age of twenty. Since then, he has lived in Novara, where he worked as an educator in a residential community. He is a writer, illustrator, and trainer. He believes that writing, reading, and illustration are a powerful and beneficial means of emotional education and the prevention of distress. They are a special way to learn to name and share emotions. He has received several awards, including the Andersen Prize in 2012 for best book for children over 15 with Ero cattivo (San Paolo) and in 2015 for best illustrator.
