“The Bee and the Disappeared Colors”

A children's book written and illustrated by Anna Rasperini. The story of a little bee searching for a safe and flourishing home for her sisters, but also the story of those seeking their own path: making mistakes, moving forward, retracing their steps, and changing direction, guided by the advice of others and their own intuition.

Lastly, but most importantly, this book celebrates the friendship between Anna and Lavinia, to whom Anna dedicated this story. May you all surround yourself with precious friendships like Anna's.

This is the story of a brave little bee. But it is also, in a certain way, Lavinia's story. Because Lavinia, like the little bee, one day left a world that didn't resemble her, a world made of numbers, graphs, and things too square, to pursue what made her heart beat: art, nature, the beauty of simple things.
[…] This book is for her. And for all those who, like Lavinia, choose to cultivate beauty every day.”

Anna is a very talented friend who has supervised, guided, and supported me, first and foremost, but also every Grumolo project from its very first steps.

Every product, experience, and event was adjusted, suggested, and built following her precious advice, and I, too, as a person, ultimately, grew and became myself thanks to her.

Thanks to Anna for always being there. Even if you don't see her, she's the silent guardian of all my dreams.
