From the unique voice of Bruno Tognolini,
Italy's most-loved children’s poet today, come these exuberant “rhymes
of hope to shout together”. Skillfully translated by Denise Muir, this
musical rhythmic chant gives voice to the wishes and hopes of children
for a better future. From grand dreams of peace, solidarity between
nations, and protection of our environment, to the intimate, wishes for
friendship, opportunity, and joyful birthday celebrations; all are
heartfelt cries for a better life and future.
Accompanied by the
vibrant collage art of Giulia Orecchia, this youthful anthem for change,
in the tradition of social justice poetry, is a true manifesto of hope.
If children hold the key to the future, this book unlocks their
potential. Who can resist the drumbeat call to rise, take to the
streets, and shout these lines to the skies? Imagine!
