Roxana Chitanu

Hello! I am a Romanian children’s book author-illustrator based in Italy.

My favorite things during childhood were reading and drawing in my grandparents’ library and observing the world outside — from ants and pebbles to clouds and trees. I learned the art of picture book creation, visual storytelling and illustration from various online courses and platforms.

Picture Books I illustrated and/or authored:

2021 “Where’s my Joey?” written by Wendy Winter

2024 “Inside: A Visual Journey of Mindfulness for Curious Kids” written and illustrated by me

2025: Stay tuned! I’m working on a new picture book!
