Il pescatore di emozioni is the story of a world where people forget how to feel emotions after a very long time in which they were captured and marketed as if they were material goods. A boy, born from the sea, will discover that he has a prodigy: that of being the last one able to generate them within himself and bring them back to the hearts of people.

One day a mole fell asleep in the warmth of a sultry day and slept so long and so deeply that he woke up when the stars were already high in the sky and darkness had fallen in every corner and on every surface.

Il paese sottovoce is the story of Luciano, a child who lives in Gridacittà, a town where everything is noisy and din reigns everywhere. One day, by chance, he will find himself catapulted into a world where everything is whispered and hearing is not the most developed sense. Il paese sottovoce is a delicate fairy tale, which invites listening not necessarily with hearing but with the heart. Recommended reading age: from 5 years.

Fra luce e ombra

Dalia decided to find her place, far from both worlds, in that border region halfway between light and shadow. Where she could be herself, a little good and a little bad, a little fairy and a little witch, a little princess and a little pirate. Where stories never followed a script. Recommended reading age: from 5 years.

La pianta della speranza

di Marco Sergio Erculiani
illustrazioni di Federico Petrolito
Aletheia edizioni

The plant of hope speaks of hope. It speaks of how, in every single moment, it is necessary to give new life to this very rare and very powerful seed but which, sometimes, needs to be nourished to grow luxuriant. The meaning of the Greek term from which this word originates, ἐλπίς, is twofold and does not have only a positive meaning. Elpis is the expectation of the future and at the same time the fear that it is always uncertain. But hope exists and will always exist, because it pervades the very fabric of the world and the nature of man, it grows together with man, is part of it, is shaped over time and is immersed in the eras of human history.

Nene was one of those curious little girls who don't stop at the appearance of things, but who dig deep to understand how everything around them works. One day, while she was observing some flowers swaying in the warm spring breeze, she asked: "Mom, what does the wind smell like?". "Nene, the wind doesn't have a scent of its own. It carries with it the scent of what it caresses." But Nene is not a little girl who is satisfied with the first explanation that comes her way, she knows that there is more to the wind than to what her mother tells her. In the end, despite the evidence, she will find her answer. A book for those who don't stop at appearances! Recommended reading age: from 6 years.

Ali di Carta

Once upon a time, there was a builder of worlds who wrote down little fragments of stories, sounds, and things he saw. He did it everywhere, wherever he happened to be: while having breakfast, while walking, while driving.

Hundreds of kilometers away lived a dream weaver who, amid the chaos of a desk covered with paper and colors, gave shape to ideas and painted words with color.

This book lay right in between them, hidden inside a cover yet to be painted, with pages still waiting to be illustrated.

And since this story is all about books and booksellers, it is reasonable to assume that they were already well on their way.
