Welcome to Carles Porta's beautifully imagined world, where tiny onion-headed ballerinas dance among multicolored autumn leaves, and new friends are found in the strangest ways.

It's Fall in the hidden valley and there's a sense of change in the air. Ticky the bird is about to fly away to warmer places, and his wolf friend Yula is painting him a farewell gift. But when Yula draws, she loses all sense of the world around her, and then gets lost in the forest. Will Ticky be able to find her?

I am an illustrator, animation film maker, and visual artist. I live in Lleida, Catalonia where I am also a professor of Illustration at the fine arts school of the city. I created the logo for ANIMAC, the international animation festival of Catalonia. I designed posters and openings for ANIMAC for more than 20 years. From my fascination for animated films, I have made two shorts and different works in visual spectacles and for children's theater. Together with Toni Tomas, I created the smallest cinema in the world: PUCK Cinema Caravan, which is a small travelling caravan showing films across Spain and Europe.

TALES from THE HIDDEN VALLEY and all its characters were inspired by my walks in the Pyrenees Mountains. I aspire to play the trumpet as well as Maximilian Cold one day.

Love this series!

We have all 4 of the books in this series. They are beautifully illustrated and the print and bindery are very high quality. My 7yr old loves to read all 4 books in a row, then go back and look for the similarities/differences in the pictures. We hope there will be more books in this series.

My favorite children's book

Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2020

Of all the children's books I have to read over and over again to my son, this is one of my favorites. The illustration is excellent and the story is very enjoyable. The variety of feelings expressed with supporting imagery adds something kids books have overlooked or lacked subtlety describing.

Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2019

I love both books but I have ordered from Tales of the Hidden Valley. I wish there were more books with such creative authors and illustrators. The story and illustrations are so Magical and unique. I’m definitely going to preorder the next 2 books from this series.
