Albert Asensio is one of the great illustrators of our time. The delicacy and warmth of his illustrations, painted by hand, have made him the winner of numerous awards, particularly a Junceda, a bronze Laus, and a Premi Llibreter in 2017 for The Blue Bench. He has illustrated the most famous illustrated books in recent times, and his regular collaborations as an illustrator in La Vanguardia also stand out. When he was a child, he dreamed of flying in a ship to travel far, far away, but, when he was eleven years old, he found the best way to travel to new worlds: drawing.
