Y cien tesoros más

An illustrated poetry collection to enjoy and treasure. Following "The Necklace of Tears," Franca Perini and Anna Pedron return with a collection of fifteen exquisitely illustrated poems. The texts focus on the adult's wonder at childhood's inexhaustible capacity to engage in dialogue with their own bodies and with the tangible world through fantasy and imagination. Young readers, for their part, identify with Franca Perini's precise, luminous, and revealing language, which describes the discovery of games as treasures. In the illustrations, Anna Pedron uses graphite as the ideal material for realistic drawing and pastels to color the lightness of the fantasies. These images interpret Franca Perini's poems without interference, like a rhythmic, soft, and sonorous sigh. Readers will always want to return to the illustrations to continue discovering these characters frozen in a transformative and symbolic moment in their lives.
