«En 1945 mon fils avait 5 ans et je voulais lui acheter des livres. Mais je ne trouvais rien qui selon moi, convienne à un enfant de cinq ans. (...) Alors j’ai commencé à imaginer des livres avec des histoires très simples. (...) Je les montrais à mon fils, qui était mon meilleur juge, car je voulais vérifier que les choses fonctionnaient. Je ne voulais pas faire un livre qui soit faux. (...) C’est alors que Mondadori a vu ces projets et a voulu les éditer.»
"In 1945 my son was 5 and I wanted to buy books for him. But I couldn’t find anything, according to me, that would suit a 5-years old kid. (...) So I started to invent books with very simple stories. (...) I used to show them to my son, he was the best judge I could imagine, because I wanted to check that everything was working well. I didn’t want a book that would be wrong. (...) And then Mondadori saw these projects and he wanted to publish them.”
