This thesis focuses on the translation of a Spanish work of children’s literature. Specifically, it presents a translation proposal of Mi persona favorita into Italian, a Spanish picture book written by Begoña Oro, illustrated by Cuchu, and published by Anaya Infantil y Juvenil in 2025. The thesis is structured into four chapters, in which, on the one hand, the theoretical aspects related to children’s literature and translation are analyzed, and, on the other hand, these concepts are put into practice through the translation proposal of the aforementioned work. The first chapter introduces the definition and main characteristics of children’s literature, paying particular attention to the genre of the picture book and poetry. The second chapter briefly presents the work, as well as its author and illustrator. The third chapter is devoted to the Italian translation proposal, while the fourth analyzes the main problems encountered during the translation process and the techniques used to address them. The aim of the thesis is, in addition to providing a proposal for the Italian translation of Begoña Oro’s work, to offer an overview of children's literature and its main characteristics, as well as the specific features of its translation, which are closely linked to the target child reader. Furthermore, it highlights the importance of the multimodal dimension typical of picture books and the need to consider the interaction between verbal and visual elements during the translation process.
