COOL KIDS ON THE BLOCK

A Portrait Series_2022

I remember my daughter's first day of day care like it was yesterday.

April 3rd 2018, she was almost two years old and for the first time I left her without me. I gave her to Alexandra and left in tears. That day the silence at home was deafening.

These kids have been with Alice since day 1 for the past 4 years and although thanks to covid they have lost a lot (like everyone), it has been a very, very happy journey. Alexandra was a precious piece and a constant in their lifes. So to thank her for all the love, all the hugs, the adventures, the questions, the sharing and all the dedication she gave to each one of them every single day, we made a book full of drawings and messages, from kids and parents.

I also made a portrait of each little friend. Drawing children is definitely not easy for me but i put all my love in each line. And it makes me truly happy know that they will cherish this forever.

Thank you, Alexandra!
