Hands are for cheering and for caressing. Hands can be happy or thoughtful. Hands can dance and can cook. Hands are meant for playing, working, stealing, even doing nothing at all. Hands are animated by a subterranean flow of life: they have desires, feelings, and their own peculiar enthusiasm, as well as people do. Hands are beautiful and mysterious. And they talk about us, revealing who we are, how we feel, what we think.

An ancient, folkloric version of a famous fable: Little Red Riding Hood. A version preceding Charles Perrault. In our story, the little girl saves herself from the evilish hunger of the wolf, thanks to a clever trick. No God-sent hunter to solve the situation: the little girl succeeds in escaping the evil, counting only on her fear and cleverness. A declaration of trust in kids, and in their inexhaustible resources of intelligence, ingenuity and courage. [Text in Italian]

This story, first published in France in 2002, was inspired by Gianni Rodari Giacomo di Cristallo. Gisèle is so transparent that all her thoughts are visible to anyone. She doesn't end up in jail, like Giacomo, but she's marginalised and forced to travel the world in search of a house. La bambina di vetro, Beatrice Alemagna says, is not about "how powerful the truth is, but about self-confidence and courage". [Text in Italian]

Night has come. Everybody's sleeping, even animals do. Or so it seems. Some lights are still on and this quiet summer night bustles with people, cats, owls, dogs and tiny details. Someone's reading at the library, someone's at the park, someone's pitching a tent, someone has stolen Susanne's hat, someone has forgotten to switch their bike-light on, and someone's flying away. After her wonderful Wimmelbuch series, Susanne Berner portrays a night sequence in the same town, showing a secret, dark, precious world. [Text in Italian]
