My Grandpa Who Returned From Germany on Foot
Davide Calì, Mariapaola Pesce, Giacomo Agnello Modica
I Heard That…
Picture Book
The mole hasn’t been seen around for some time now… what could have happened to it?
Did it run away because it made the farmer angry?
Did it go to New York to run the marathon?
Or, has it become a celebrity and is about to star in a film?
The animals in the woods and on the farm exchange ever more sensational hypotheses about the fate of their friend!
- With the fun mechanism of “Chinese whispers”, Mariapaola Pesce’s lively pen and Martina Tonello’s illustrations teeming with details open up a thousand different stories, to be enjoyed together aloud and leafed through again and again with little ones!
- A book that also speaks to us adults, in the hyper-informed society: “We often seek only confirmation of our own opinions, rather than stimuli, discoveries and news. What if we stopped to think for a moment, to check the information, before accepting it just because someone discloses it? Let’s ask the mole!” – Mariapaola Pesce, on Frizzifrizzi
