Un libro di grande atmosfera che si apre su un bambino solo in un misterioso collegio gotico. Apparso un invito sul suo comodino, il protagonista decide di cogliere l'occasione, inforca la bicicletta e scappa: fuori dalla finestra, al chiaro di una luna straordinaria, attraverso i boschi, nelle acque di un fiume e via veloce fino a un'isola con una grotta. E poi ancora si unisce a una grande festa, con animali enormi che servono tè e ballano fino a tarda notte. E poi? Di ritorno da questo viaggio fantastico, il protagonista ha una storia incredibile da raccontare agli altri bambini. Un modo perfetto per farsi degli amici perché le storie uniscono e creano connessioni. Un testo minimale ma incisivo, unito a suggestive illustrazioni: un libro potente e toccante, che consolida la reputazione di Daniel Miyares come uno degli autori e illustratori per bambini più entusiasmanti di oggi e che Pulce ha l'onore di portare in Italia. Età di lettura: da 4 anni.

A boy’s small paper boat—and his large imagination—fill the pages of this wordless picture book, a modern-day classic from the creator ofPardon Me! that includes endpaper instructions for building a boat of your own.

A little boy takes a boat made of newspaper out for a rainy-day adventure. The boy and his boat dance in the downpour and play in the puddles, but when the boy sends his boat floating down a gutter stream, it quickly gets away from him.

So of course the little boy goes on the hunt for his beloved boat—and when the rain lets up, he finds himself on a new adventure altogether.

This seemingly simply story from Daniel Miyares is enriched with incredible depth and texture that transcend words.

A little bird just wants some peace and quiet—but he’s about to get a whole lot more than he bargained for in this clever picture book debut, in the tradition of Jon Klassen’s I Want My Hat Back.

It’s a beautiful, sunny day in the swamp when a little yellow bird settles down on a rock—only to be interrupted as first a heron, then a frog, then a turtle ask to sit on the rock with him. As each animal says “pardon me,” the little bird’s replies get grumpier:

“I suppose I can’t stop you.”
“It’s already crowded, don’t you think?”
“Sure, the entire swamp’s here already. Why shouldn’t you be, too?”

When a fox comes by, the bird finally loses his cool. But it just so happens that fox showed up for a reason, and the little bird’s outburst leads to a surprise ending you’ll want to read again and again.
