Ciraolo studied animation at the National Film School in Turin, Italy, before moving to the UK where she undertook an MA in Children’s Book Illustration at the Cambridge School of Art.

Industry Reviews
"Gorgeous, muted illustrations show an entrancing variety of sea life and the personalities of each creature carry the story rather than the awkward prose and inconsistent storyline (that dance sequence is delightful but extraneous)." -- Kirkus Reviews
