Il paese del melograno was first published in 1974 as volume 39 of the “Tantibambini” series, edited by Bruno Munari, that proposed “New fables, simple yet fantastic tales, some of which are even incredible even though without witches, wizards or princes. Not-so-famous or vene unknown stories that tell us of mums and kid from all over the world”.

Together with her cat, who has red fur and is named Saturday, Aoi likes to watch them mature.
