Piedra a piedra

A little mouse plucks a flower growing on an old wall, and as he does so, a stone block comes loose. For the first time, he can see what lies on the other side and quickly alerts the other animals, who gradually remove more and more blocks until the wall is completely demolished. When they discover another group of animals on a nearby island, they use the blocks that once separated them to build a bridge that unites them. This ingenious and moving board book shows even the youngest children that walls and fences can be replaced by bridges if they work together. Told without words, Giuliano Ferri's simple and expressive illustrations effectively and accessibly convey a hopeful message—more necessary than ever—about friendship, solidarity, and cooperation: universal values ​​essential for overcoming differences and conflicts.
