Favorite illustrated book? To this day, I can’t think of a leading one. As a child, I loved “We, Sparrows” by Yordan Radichkov and “Peter Rabbit” by Beatrix Potter.
Which book do you dream of illustrating? There is no specific book that I dream of illustrating. I am interested in illustration in all literary genres. I would illustrate Bulgarian folk tales, our folklore is extremely rich. I would also illustrate Elin Pelin's Grandfather's Mitten, Andersen's fairy tales, as well as stories such as "The Blue Butterflies" and "The Barrier" by Pavel Vezhinov, and why not step outside the scope of the book by illustrating a board game.
