Pisica Pix în vizitǎ la Bucureşti – Children’s Book Launch

Does every walk through the city end with “my feet hurt” and “are we there yet?”

“Pisica Pix în vizitǎ la Bucureşti” is an activity book and city guide for children aged 4 to 8. With it, a walk becomes a treasure hunt: stickers, drawings, challenges and games inspired by each place visited in Bucharest bring the city closer to children. They discover buildings they used to walk past without noticing, while parents get a moment to catch their breath when they stop for a break and the little ones are busy with the activities in the guide. But the games don’t stay within the pages of the book: they are actually ways of seeing the city through children’s eyes, which can be repeated anytime, anywhere. And in the evening, the book becomes the perfect excuse for a “Do you remember when…?”

The book is by Ina German and Raluca Mitarcă, two trained architects who have since found other pursuits – precisely the ones this book needed.

Come to the launch and enter the raffle: you could win one of the copies signed by the authors.

Date: 7 November, 1:00 PM

Location: Humanitas Bookshop at Cișmigiu – 38 Regina Elisabeta Boulevard

Ina German

Pisica Pix began with two questions that Ina German asks herself with every project: who is it for, and why? For children, for parents and for the city, so that the city becomes more than just a backdrop. Ina brought her experience as an architect, operations director and product manager to the book. And as a mother, she had the most honest test of all: her daughter, who completed the route before anyone else.

Raluca Mitarcă

Raluca Mitarcă illustrates with the eye of someone who knows that a drawing needs to work both on screen and in print. For “Pisica Pix în vizitǎ la Bucureşti”, she created the illustrations and graphic design, and her drawings inspired some of the most charming lines. Pix, the orange cat with glasses, began in her sketches and grew into a fully fledged character.
