Tita's Projects and Dummies
(a hidden section, only for editor's eyes)

The Dress
The Dress is a story about little girl's passion for dancing, about a mother’s love for her daughter, and the special bond they have. But also and equally this story is about a charmed, universal piece of childhood – that one transformative dress, or superhero cape, or tiara or firemen’s hat or pair of cowboy boots that we had as a kid. That special, singular item that gave us a sense of joy and power and magic and becoming.

This wordless picture book was selected by dPICTUS, Picture Book Makers, for the Unpublished Picture Book Showcase, which was featured at the Bologna Children's Book Fair in 2023. The book is available for submission, and it has a worded version.

The Painting
The Painting tells is about the magical feeling most of us had as children, of drawing with our bare hands and creating our very own world of wonders. We follow this little girl’s curiosity expand from the paper to the walls, expressing pure joy for whatever she creates - and for a brief instant we can share her vision.

This unpublished wordless picture book was created as a possible sequel for The Dress, or for a series with the same character.

Butterfly
Butterfly shows the little girl's curiosity and playfulness when in contact with nature. While touching the flowers, she sees a butterfly. Initially, she wants to catch it, but the butterfly pulls away whenever she gets close. The girl then realises that it's much more interesting to follow and mimic its gracious movements. Once the girl fully understands and respects the butterfly's freedom, it sees her as trustworthy, finally touching her on the cheek.

This concertina format contributes to the narrative and flow since the story, given it's about a tactile experience - of curiosity, movement, and play. This is an unpublished project, available for submission.
