When I began in children's illustration, I signed up for a course that completely transformed the way I created stories. Although you could arrive at an idea, I started from scratch, and in the group, dynamics ideas were springing up at full speed. 

I decide to write a story featuring only animals. I thought of a cat but discarded the classic cat-and-mouse duo because it was too predictable. Then I remembered my grandmother's cat, who chased every insect he saw, and from that German, the jealous kitten, and Oruga, his little friend inspired by the colorful plush I gave my cousin a few years ago.
