Ramón Trigo was born in Vigo in 1965. A self-taught artist, he alternates his job as an illustrator and a comic author with drawing and sculpture. His works have been exhibited in Spain, Portugal, Belgium and Italy. She has published several books, which have obtained important prizes, including the Lazarillo Award, in 2012, the City of Alicante Picture Book Award and the Gran Canaria Picture Book Award. He is also the co-author of “The black thing that passed by my window”, together with Blanca Trigo.
Can, should a story about domestic violence be given to children in the form of a picture book? We think Daniel Martín and Ramón Trigo have done it with much sensitivity and intelligence, offering us a very good book, which can be useful for dealing with the issue of domestic violence, especially at school.
Everynight, a little girl sees a strange, huge form by her bedroom window, a form she can’t identify. It could be a huge vampire, a big wave… or could it be a fly landing on the glass of the lighthouse, which would reflect it and make it bigger, looking like a monster?
The text by Blanca Trigo (a little girl) is illustrated by her father, Ramón Trigo, in a masterful contrast of black and blue colors.
“This book, about a mystery set out in a boundless night, has expressionist pictorial illustrations that are clarified by some touches of humor, enriching the thoughts and reflections generated by this work… the two-pages layout gives life to a successful counterpoint, which is sometimes superb in its concepts.” (CLIJ, Children and Young Adults’ Literature Notebooks)
