Lara Ferrario

Lara Ferrario is a mother and author who writes about childhood and parenting through the lens of real life: the words that take root, the bonds that shape us, adults’ doubts, and those moments when love exists alongside exhaustion, imperfection, and a healthy dose of humor.

In Radici nel cuore and Radici invisibili, she explores how words help shape a child’s inner voice. In L’arte di togliere, she reflects on a way of being present that supports children without taking over, leaving room for waiting, mistakes, and independence. In her children’s books—from L’uovo di carta to the Storie in tondo al mondo series—she brings together storytelling, play, and creativity to turn reading into a shared experience.

Her books grow from a simple belief: growing together does not mean being perfect, but being present, listening, and, when needed, knowing how to laugh at ourselves.
