A rabbit who tells jokes and a kid who flies, at night, on his pedal car. A shy soul and a brave heart. A school populated with chattering dictionaries and melancholic globes. A dream-like adventure through classrooms and alphabets, books and desks, helping kids face the great mistery of school looming ahead.

After their trip to the beach (In spiaggia, 2017), Susanna Mattiangeli and Vessela Nikolova are back in town to observe the people crowded at the marketplace.

But it’s just a beginning: readers could play and make up this language game again and again. [Text in Italian]

A river is a journey. A singing spring, a crevasse in a glacier, a muddy swamp or a silent lake: that's where a river is born. In a moment. Then it starts to run. A girl observes what surrounds her on the river bank and asks many questions. Her grandmother is there to answer and she seems to know every secret of it.

Chenxino is a young and talented author and illustrator, debuting with this delicate story about a boy and a girl. The day the boy moves in front of her she writes on her diary: "Today I fell in love". Since then, what the reader follows is a moving sequence of the strategies she adopts to catch his attention. We’ll see her turning into a bird and sing on a tree, turning into a pig to have breakfast with him, and into a dinosaur to protect him at night. Forty-eight pages of pure wonder, in Italian and Chinese (the author's mother tongue), to describe the complexity of feelings.
