• Sometimes being different isn’t so bad! A funny story about believing in yourself.
Angelo Mozzillo was born in Naples in 1988 before moving to Milan to attend film school. He stayed there, but instead of working on film sets he focused on writing. He likes discovering new stories and making up his own, mixing and reinventing words like shuffling a pack of cards. His latest works include the picture book Io sono foglia (I am a Leaf), Bacchilega Junior, 2020, illustrated by Marianna Balducci and winner of the 2021 Andersen and SuperAndersen prizes.
