Project

At Faberllull, Anna Aparicio will work on the illustrations for the book Nunca había visto un tigre llorar (I Had Never Seen a Tiger Cry), to be published by Chilean publishing house Claraboya.

Nunca había visto un tigre llorar is an emotional story about a boy who travels to reunite with his father, who lives far from the city. Through this journey, it explores family bonds, especially a child’s relationship with their parents, as well as the beauty and evocative force of the nature of the Tigre Delta, in Argentina.
