Contributor Bio(s): Belloni, Valentina: - I was born on the 7th of november 1986 in Cuneo, a city near Turin, Italy . As a young child, I was always drawing and painting and after my graduation I finally decided to make my great passion into a career! This was one of the best choice in my life. I attended a three years post diploma degree, with a master of Illustration at the IED of Turin, Italy, where I graduated in July 2008. During this experience I built up my artist's skills, with a regardful eye to the juvenile illustration market. In 2010 I became part of the freelance Illustrators represented by the MB Artists of New York, having the great possibility to work with several important publishers. This job is amazing and I just want to keep growing up in the great word of illustration, my job and my passion at the same time.Meister, Cari: - Cari Meister has written more than 130 books for children, including the Tiny series (Penguin) and the Fast Forward Fairy Tales series (Scholastic).
