A new day begins at Pascualina's house, but things are not going too well ... Pascualina is a little bat. She is 3 years old and she must go to school? Like everyone!, Her parents tell him. But she doesn't want to go in any way, not even in dreams! And she screams so loud that her parents shrink and become small, very small; so much so that she can put them under her brim. She now she can go to school!
As a child Beatrice Alemagna (Bologna, 1973) admired the books by Gianni Rodari and the images by Bruno Munari and Emanuele Luzzati, so much so that she decided that when she was older she would create novels. After finishing her studies in design and visual communication at the ISIA in Urbino, in 1996 she won the first prize in the illustration contest Figures futures at the Salon du Livre et de la Presse Jeunesse, Montreuil; in 2000, she won the Prix Attention Talent-Fnac; in 2002, she was the Prix Octogones. In 2007, she got a mention at the Bologna Ragazzi Award. She has exhibited her work in Bologna, Milan, Rome, Paris, Lisbon, and Tokyo.
