My special gift for my special daughter: my first translated children’s book, Il Mio Amico Mostro – Boris alla Riscossa by Karen Kaz Campbell. It’s a funny story on a 8 year-old kid, Billy, who’s persecuted by terrible nightmares, and his friendly monster Boris, who helps him chase them away. It tells about self-awareness and self-esteem, about bullying and redemption written with lightness and humour. Your kids will love it!

About the author:
Kaz Campbell loves to tell a story. So where do all the ideas come from? Well to start off with, her husband – B. Campbell – is a very funny man. He wrote ‘Diary of an Almost Cool Girl’, an instant best seller. Mr TDH (Tall, Dark and Handsome) is one of the characters in his book. Kaz felt that he needed a voice too, how did he feel about Maddi, what was happening in his life…. And so Diary of Mr TDH was born.
