    This author began his career in visual communication before delving into the world of children's books. His early work focused on illustrations for various publications, but a pivotal meeting with a publisher led to a series of documentary books exploring travel and the world. This collaboration sparked his first steps into writing, balancing illustrations for nonfiction with ventures into fiction. His unique style further evolved through ambitious projects like an imaginary atlas merging geography with an alphabetical structure, earning him significant accolades. Later, his creative output expanded to include original novels for young readers, solidifying his versatility as both a storyteller and a visual artist.
