The Blue Pearl

The Blue Pearl is an illustrated story for children and adults. Text by Marie Stockmarr Becker, illustrations in ink and watercolour by Fabio Monni.

The Blue Pearl is the result of a collaborative process that started in 2021 and finished in 2025. It first came as an improvised oral storytelling – inspired by the sea. It then developed into a collaboration between us – the storyteller and the illustrator – crystallising into its final form as a written story with ink- and watercolour illustrations.
