Reviews

[Sara Gussoni]

Vorrei che l’esperienza femminile in letteratura possa essere considerata come esperienza neutra come avviene per quella maschile. Questo libro tenta di farlo per i più piccoli e attraverso la poesia. Ritengo sia importantissimo per creare un’empatia comune.

Nice combination if old and new. Would be a good young adult selection I think.
