Welcome to Kidlit diary!
Whether you arrived here after wandering through magical woods or you were guided by a sparkling lantern (or maybe you stumbled here by accident), I encourage you to stay and dive into the life of an author-illustrator.
wait a minute, who are you?
Fair enough. I’m Marta Serraggiotto, a children’s book author and illustrator from Italy with a BIG love for magical creatures and clumsy monsters.
* drum roll* I’m also a Psychology student focusing on Developmental and Educational Psychology!
