Delivering Watermelon
2026 BolognaRagazzi Award Fable & Fairytales Special Mention
-
A charming portrait of a child, dealing with the challenges of obeying their mother to deliver a watermelon to their grandmother, with small mishaps and big temptations along the way, and open to the delightful surprise of an unexpected friendship at the end. Classic and universal motifs are combined in a clever and playful way, presented through mixed media, textile collage, and coloured thread stitching.
