Nests of Notes

Nidi di note [Nests of Notes] is an illustrated book, a course in musical education to browse, read and listen to, which was presented at the 2012 Bologna Children’s Book Fair.

How. We worked with Sonia Peana and Paolo Fresu, who composed and performed the music, while Bruno Tognolini wrote and then read the stories and nursery rhymes, and Alessandro Sanna did the illustrations. We were in charge of the book design, and we put everything together for the guys over at Gallucci editore. It was a challenge, because the project (which will continue with an app) does not adhere to the classic canon of children’s books. It is a project that tells fairy tales, shows illustrations, plays music and recites nursery rhymes. Putting all this into a single object was a tall order.
What. Artistic direction, graphic design and page layout.
Client. Carlo Gallucci editore, Rome (IT).
Year. 2012.
Partnerships. Sonia Peana, Paolo Fresu, Giannino Stoppani Cooperativa Culturale.
