Il gomitolo azzurro
Isadora lives in a house in the woods with her blue sheep. She has lots of friends. When they need her she helps them, and they do the same for her. Friendship is a long blue string that unites, colours, warms and heals.
Guia Risari
Se fossi un uccellino
How many times have we stopped to observe the acrobatics of a bird in flight? This time it is a little girl who follows its tireless journey. From the balcony to the tree, rooftops, sky, sun and once again to the ground. The little bird is not only an acrobat in the air, but also a messenger, a being that unites two universes with an invisible string. And the eyes of the girl are filled with discoveries, emotions, thoughts, dreams...
Umberto Sebastiano
Tilda e la luna
At times, to be able to appreciate the beautiful things in life, one must step back a bit, maybe going up, until one reaches the moon. From there everything appears simpler and all you need is a soap bubble to make us understand that friendship is one of the most precious gifts.

A little sister is a real nag. Everyone’s attention is on her. All that remains is to steal her dummy and tell a lie. But what is a lie? It has to be a little one, but by telling it the lie grows and soon walks on legs longer than dad’s. It becomes threatening, it changes shape and colour, until discovering that a sister is a real thing. And good thing, too!
Pino Pace
Dov’è la casa di gatto Nerone?
Nerone is an indoor cat raised with pampering and croquettes: he’s beautiful, healthy but a little lazy... One day, finding the balcony window open, he walks out to discover the world. Over the rooftops and through the streets of his city, Nerone discovers that the world is immense and that it is full of stray cats, people kicking a ball, mysterious forests, and very long sausages links!

Una bugia vera
Susanna Mattiangeli
Dove porta
How many doors do we encounter each day? Doors opening and closing, revolving doors, folding doors, heavy doors and little doors: many passages to places, people and things to do. A book for those entering and those leaving; to step outside or close yourself in the warmth of a small bedroom.
