In a kitchen, an egg opens its eyes and suddenly wonders why it just sits there, like that, all the time. It gets up, hops… moving turns out to be wonderful!

Books for 4-8y, Books for 5-8y, Books for 8-12y It all starts with a line , whether it's drawn with a pencil on paper or with skates on the surface of a frozen lake. With this new silent book, Suzy Lee once again blurs the lines between reality and fiction, between drawing and story. The entertaining—and seemingly simple—story of a young skater who whizzes and pirouettes on the ice creates a play of references between the author's line and the character's evolution , revealing the playful dimension of drawing.

All Those Things That No Longer Fit
Books for 8-12y He looks around carefully and sees ‘things’ of many other colours, sky blue, soft pink, meadow green, fuchsia and blue running around and mingling with his own. They are the ‘things’ that no longer fit even for the other children who play with him in the park and who, mixing ‘things’ and colours, create a joyful and bright confusion. Maybe these are dreams, maybe these are worries, maybe these are thoughts or desires, maybe these are fears or maybe these are secrets, or maybe these are the things we would like to learn and the things we already know.
In this delicate book, Marta Lonardi provides us with an almost dreamlike and somewhat rarefied background in which to reflect on ‘all those things that no longer fit’ in each of us. This universal dimension without any indication of awhat exactly these ‘things’ are makes it a book suitable for audiences of all ages.
