At the end of this story the two main characters engage in the same way. It 's a long path, sometimes Last, but words and music, not perfectly straight, rough but full of love. E 'with this power that you can do anything and this is the main message of Jade and Francis, the protagonists of this small and precious history, why not, love.
There are many themes, from friendship to dreams, fear of the next to be judged or not to be appreciated for what it is, up to a feeling of hopelessness and sadness left by the loss of a loved one and as a new sentiment can lead to the discovery of ourselves and give us the strength to react and start to dream. It 's a story that leaves from the lessons and solutions but he speaks from the heart and brings a positive message of love.
seems strange that a small book like this encompasses many things and it is interesting to see how the text is completed and tinged by irony right, thanks to the illustrations.
The story is well interpreted with fresh and creative designs that contain a good dose of humor and communication. The section leaves the classic appearance to approach the world more children, more elementary, but without taking anything for granted. The illustrator used a special technique that combines the knowledge of the design manual with the modern computer, without affecting the poetic nature of the story but rather to reinforce it (do caso a diversi elementi come: il sacco di yuta di Giada, le cornici dei quadri in camera, la carta da parati e la vecchia foto).
Elemento ricorrente della storia è il leone-astuccio, pieno di matite e penne colorate. Il leone è sempre presente nella vita di Giada (quando scrive, sogna, pensa e incontra), egli si anima e l’accompagna durante la vicenda fino ad osservarla mentre si allontana con il suo nuovo amico, pronta ad affrontare il futuro, più forte e sicura di se.
Le due autrici, padovane, Valeria Tassinari (testo)e Sara Zanella (illustrazioni), hanno creato il loro primo libro per bambini. Un incontro nato casualmente ma che ha portato fortuna e stimolo creativo ad entrambe. Le due giovani hanno pensato to become an integral part of the book, the creativity of the child who reads it, providing it with a coloring page and a delightful song that turns the story in music, becoming an instrument of the player that can play and sing the words.
an interactive product, then, who wants to put in the hands of children so many ways to stimulate their imagination, not only literary and musical as well as manual and in this way the book becomes much more than just reading, but combines different experiences that will the reader feel "protagonist" and creator of history.
