Mans Da Tera

Series of illustrations for a Ladin children’s book

2020

Commissioned by the Union Ladins de Fascia, this book is a collection of six stories around environmental awareness, written by Sebastiano Dorich, Stefano Riz and Thomas Zulian, while the editorial work was made by Emma Segat.

Written in ladin, the stories revolve around three friends who live in Fassa Valley, who learn about the importance of water and recycling, the danger of avalanches and smog, with an over-arching philosophy of promoting a healthy and sustainable lifestyle.

The illustrations are a modern rendition of the three main characters, who are accompanied by a little groundhog who is hidden in every shot. These educational books were distributed in the schools of the valley for both environmental and linguistic purposes.
