Once upon a time, by Pep Rosanes-Creus, illustrated by Bet Serra Eloy, is the fourth book edited by the Associació Tapís as part of a project involving training schemes to encourage teenagers within the county of Osona in entering the workplace and the wider society.
Tapís's books are printed on entirely hand-crafted recycled paper, and the teenage participants in this project performed each of the production tasks, from the elaboration of each sheet of paper, through to folding the covers, the binding and printing, all the way to the distribution of finished books for sale.
The cover price of the books is wholely dedicated to the payment of the main part of a small wage-grant which participants receive during the training process, which includes acquiring good working habits, their basic training, training in social skills, and workplace orientation.
