Plants That Speak, Animals That Sing (Plantas que hablan, animales que cantan) is a non-fiction book, that opens our eyes to the intelligence that exists beyond humans. Every day, in every corner of the natural world, thousands of small communicative miracles occur through signals and systems we don't even notice - fungi that transfer nutrients to plants through their roots, bees that trace an invisible map, trees that emit a scent to attract predator and many more are mentioned in this fascinating book.

To create the illustrations for this book I relied on author’s text, which was the starting point for my artwork. Since the book is packed with information, my goal was to present it in a way that is simple, fun, and accessible to the younger audience. My focus was on creating vibrant and entertaining illustrations. I wanted the book's pages to overflow with color and vitality, highlighting the diversity of nature. My aim was to craft illustrations that are not just entertaining but also deeply immersive. To transform the reader's experience into one of discovery and wonder, showcasing the diversity of nature - flora and fauna in all its glory.

I have always wanted to depict animals just as I see them, with their own expressive character and unique personality. Animals are what I love most in the world; they are truly incredible. And in this book, I wanted to give them the tribute they deserve.

It is a book for those who wish to learn in a unique way and enjoy colorful and captivating illustrations at the same time. Uncovering the mysteries of nature and learning about it in a fun and visually appealing way. Each page is a distinct experience, far from monotonous, its own micro-universe of colors, organisms, and very characteristic habitats.
