MY BABY

This story begins in the arms of a mother who welcomes her little one. Side by side we observe their dance of life, birth, growth, passing, shared emotions, reversal of situations and roles. This book is intimidating with its honesty, it touches the heart. The sparse text of Germano Zullo combined with the pencil illustrations by Albertine create a beautiful portrait of unconditional, constant love.

In 2016, the book won the Bologna Ragazzi Award in the fiction category.

Mom and son, son and mom. Their speaking and listening, her whispering and enthusiastic cry, his mindfulness and compassion. Their giving of their best, not only on holiday. Growing up and slowly disappearing, always close to you and always in an embrace. I do not know the more tender picture of motherly love. Dominika Janik / ladnebebe.pl
