I am grateful to the Elkano Foundation for supporting me with another grant to assist in the completion of my illustrated story for children 'June ta Mundua' - Basque for 'June and the World'. This story is a continuation of my first story 'What Amatxi whispered'. It recounts the adventures of a little Basque American child living in Nevada, learning with her peers to deal with the environmental and social challenges of today.


I am writing this story in Basque and in English, and also illustrating it myself. I plan to have it completed in a few more months time, and then find a publishing house.

In the meantime, a review in French of my preparatory work for it appeared here, thanks to the writer Patrice Martin.
