Author Biography

Patricia Fitti was born in 1965 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. As a child, she liked to draw and write, motivated by her artist father. After working as an elementary school teacher for more than 20 years, she decided to start studying illustration with several renowned illustrators. Later, she attended the National University of the Arts in Buenos Aires. She then began to work for several national and foreign publishers, writing stories and illustrating books. But her greatest desire was to integrate text and illustration by making her own books. Thus, in 2018, she entered her first picture book in a contest and won the Apel-les Mestres award in Spain. A year later, Patricia moved from the city to the countryside, where she discovered the peace and beauty she needed to find inspiration. She got two more literary award mentions with her next books, one of them being Mr. Round and Mr. Square. Making books is magical for Patricia, since it allows her to unite three things that she's passionate about: art, literature, and the world of children.
