Description
One evening, after crawling into bed, a downcast little girl named Benni notices something shimmering outside of her window. The shimmering object comes closer and closer until Benni is face-to-face with a brilliant star that has fallen right out of the sky! Through her encounter with the star, Benni learns the power of self-love and self-confidence and wakes up the next morning feeling as bright as the star she spotted in the sky.

Mirko Filippi was born in Livorno, Italy in 1966. In 1970, he moved to Trieste where he completed his studies and attended the Istituto Statale d'Arte E.U.Nordio and graduated in 1983. In 1985, he graduated from a window dressing course by setting up various shops in the city center. He returned to Tuscany in 1991 and collaborated as an illustrator and cartoonist on various comic fanzines. There he met Marco Innocenti (now a well-known writer) with whom he created a series of comic projects collaborating with underground magazines. Since 2003, he has worked in advertising, graphic design, illustration, and periodically staged exhibitions. Since 2006, in collaboration with public and private institutions, he has organized creative design and illustration courses for children and adults. He has published several illustrated books and comics for children for leading Italian publishers and was the storyboard creator for the film Glass Boy.
