THE STOLEN SEA

Gek Tessaro

Dall’altra parte, dove prima c’era il mare,

ora c’è un gigantesco deserto e tutte le navi
rimangono immobili appoggiate sul fondo
asciutto. Naturalmente pescatori, palombari,
marinai, bagnini e comuni bagnanti non
trovano entusiasmante la faccenda. Ma il re è
il re, comanda lui.
E poi si tratta di sudditi. Lo capiscono al volo
che perdere il mare è brutto, perdere la testa
è peggio.

Once upon a time there was a mountain . And on that mountain was a castle . And in that castle lived a
king and a princess . One morning, Princess Petunia said to her father, “Dad, see that sea over there?
I want it here!” So, King Romualdo had the sea moved to the mountain!
For the fish, the ships, and the pirates, the sea became a desert . But even though the fish, whales, and
hermit crabs couldn’t rebel, the pirates most certainly could… .

PREHISTORIC TIMES AS TOLD

Gek Tessaro
Vanno in giro i continenti
Vanno in giro a mescolarsi
Vanno piano, vanno lenti
A conoscersi, a incontrarsi

Anche noi ci si incontrava

Ma non sempre si capiva
Che conoscersi era bello
Che conoscersi serviva

La materia dentro il cranio

Era poca e poco fine
Era questo che avevamo
Un cervello da galline

Il difficile in quel mondo

Era far ragionamenti
Dominato era il pensiero
Dallo stomaco e dai denti

 When Noah Fell from the Ark
WHEN
Posters NOAH FELL FROM THE ARK
Nicola Cinquetti - Gek Tessaro

Ecco avanzare la lunga sfilata

sopra la terra che è molle e bagnata
ecco le tigri le iene e i leoni
con i tacchini gli struzzi e i pavoni

Dietro di loro un gruppetto di equini

zebre cavalli al galoppo e ciuchini
poi animali possenti e pesanti
lenti ippopotami e grigi elefanti

L’operazione durò molti giorni

vennero tutti perfino i liocorni
ultimi furono due barboncini
piccoli e soffici come agnellini

L’arca alla fine era tutta gremita

come uno stadio se c’è una partita
disse Noè che era tempo di andare
chiuse la porta e si mise a aspettare

L’acqua scendeva a violente secchiate

erano già le campagne allagate
tutto d’un tratto la nave si scosse
e dopo un altro sussulto si mosse

the same if they’re a prisoner . But what if we could capture nature in the pages of a book?

Once upon a time, there were five kings who ruled five kingdoms, each one of them a different
color. While the White Kingdom was orderly and organized, the people in the Red Kingdom
were grumpy all the time. While the people in the Black Kingdom were always scared, the
people in the Blue one were always cautious. Finally, the people in the Yellow Kingdom were
just so very proud of themselves. The five kingdoms were divided by distrust and high walls. But
one day the walls were struck by lightning. The colors mingled together, creating shades no one
had ever seen before! A modern fairy tale about joyfully accepting the diversity of other people.

MY THEATRE ABC
Lucia Giustini - Ariella Abolaffio

Format: cm 12 x 24 - Pages: 48

An ABC book about the theatre for children. But also for adults, since we should never forget
that the theatre is one big wonderful game. This isn’t about training mini actors but encouraging
children to recognize and use their own unique creativity. To be read in any order. Play all
the games or just the ones you like best. Look at the illustrations and invent new situations with
friends. Then read it all again from the beginning to the end. Or from the end to the beginning.
Just keep playing! And sharing!

ABUL ABBAS
Teresa Buongiorno - Gianni De Conno

Il viaggio dell’elefante durò due anni. Finalmente la

spedizione arrivò ad Aquisgrana, dove il sovrano
attendeva paziente il dono del Califfo. Abul Abbas fu
portato nei giardini della reggia, ricchi di vegetazione e
animali di ogni specie. Per la maggior parte erano in
gabbia e l’elefante temette di essere destinato alla stessa
sorte. Invece fu lasciato libero, tra piante diverse da
quelle che conosceva. Si guardò intorno, sospettoso, poi
vide le fontane: l’acqua zampillava e pareva lo salutasse
con il suo canto. Questo bastò a rincuorarlo: quando
Carlomagno si avvicinò, l’elefante era tutto intento a
farsi la doccia e lo accolse con una spruzzata gioiosa. Per
sua fortuna il re adorava l’acqua e si mise a giocare con
lui. Fu l’inizio di una grande amicizia.

Format: cm 30.5 x 24 - Pages: 32 Rights sold to P.R. of China

From Eastern starry skies to Aechen court’s gardens, the book tells the story of Abul Abbas, “the

Four fables for preschool readers about four characters whose paths cross: a little girl searching
for the happiness she lost with her father, a little fish who’s greedy for sweets but never brushes
his teeth, a sad bear who has no real friends, and a stripy ball who lives in a land of polka dots
and feels left out. Each story teaches kids an important lesson.

Dragon AGAIN!
Luigi Dal Cin - Francesco Fagnani

Così Peter e la mamma si siedono in giardino

con l’orco, mangiano pane e mirtilli e gli raccontano
tutta la storia della zuppa di venerdì: di come
la mamma abbia chiamato l’orco pensando
che gli orchi nemmeno esistessero.
L’orco scoppia a ridere, e così anche Peter e la mamma.

«E sa, caro orco» dice la mamma asciugandosi le lacrime

per il gran ridere «anche mia mamma mi preparava
la zuppa di venerdì e anch’io facevo un sacco di storie:
la zuppa di cavolo era davvero disgustosa!».
E giù di nuovo a ridere tutti insieme.
Le risate dell’orco sono così forti
che sradicano l’intera siepe del giardino.

All kids hate soup. And, like every Friday, Peter doesn’t want his. So, his mom opens the window
and calls out in a loud voice, “MR. OGRE!” But what if Mr. Ogre really shows up?

LUISA MATTIA

vide una zattera andare alla deriva

con sopra un uomo solo che dormiva.

«Si chiama Ulisse, anche Odisseo detto,

Volerò e da un ciclope venne maledetto.
È un guerriero maestro di inganni,
Leggero come un gabbiano, come una piuma che si muove
nel vento. Volevo essere così. Ma come fare? per questo vaga ormai da molti anni.»
Ho studiato come sono fatti gli uccelli e come l’aria
oppone resistenza. E ho immaginato una macchina volante
che chiamai IL GRANDE NIBBIO e riempì di stupore
tutti quelli che la videro. Il mio amico Maso provò
a prendere il volo dalla collina di Fiesole. Ma cadde.
Studiai, allora, la caduta delle foglie e dei pesi
e il movimento dell’aria. Fu così che ho disegnato le ali
dell’ornitottero e un’elica a vite che, se ben fatta di tela
di lino, poteva sollevarsi da terra e volare in alto.
Ma c’erano anche le colline e pensai: potrei lanciarmi a valle,
come fanno i rapaci. Ma non avevo ali e, dunque, immaginai

Once upon a time, there were three clock hands. They were great friends and worked for a big gold
pocket watch. But then they started quarrelling. All day and all night! So, they decided to go their
separate ways. This was a big problem for the pocket watch: All his works… just… stopped… But
because time continued to go by, the three hands eventually got back in sync and became friends
again. A story that shows the strength of teamwork.

on fu proprio l’indomani. L’occasione si fece aspettare
un po’. Un camion entrava passando rumorosamente
sotto l’insegna del cancello, uomini sudati scaricava-
no o caricavano; la mamma poi era quasi sempre in casa.
Ma quando infine venne, quel domani, fu un nitido oggi, rimasto
poi per sempre nel ricordo come un ritaglio di presente, più che
un’immagine del passato.
È di pomeriggio, un po’ sul tardi. Il sole, ritirando-
si, tocca ancora di sbieco la grondaia del tetto. La
mamma è andata alle botteghe per un supplemen-
to di spesa serale, i padroni sono nello studio, che guar-
da sulla strada. Il sogno audace di se stessa che si arrampi-
ca sull’albero, dai primi rami fino alla vetta, ha avuto tempo
di radicarsi a fondo nel cuore della bambina, che continua a rip-
ensarci. I suoi sogni a occhi aperti sono tutti di questo genere,
molto semplici, ma tenaci. Decidendosi di botto, esce nel cortile
deserto.
È pieno di un chiasso di uccellini che non si vedono, ma che
danno alla chioma dell’albero scosse più brevi e brusche di
quelle del vento. Perché c’è un po’ di vento: guardando in su

Once there was a boy who wanted everything that crossed his mind. And he wanted it right away.
He had quite an imagination and his wish list never ended. Everyone responded to him: “Grasp

growing it, that famous Grasp Grass. A light and funny story to learn to appreciate the little things.

Viaggio nel tempo

Guarda che cielo

Quando nella preistoria gli uomini iniziano a vivere anche di agricoltura,

non gli basta più sapere in quali giorni la luna piena permette di scovare
gli animali anche di notte. Hanno anche bisogno di un calendario per
calcolare la semina delle piante; così il compito di tenere il conto delle
stagioni, osservando il sole e le stelle, tocca agli astronomi.

In Gran Bretagna e in Francia vengono costruiti osservatori con grandi

lastre di pietra: il più noto è Stonehenge, in Inghilterra, edificato circa
nel 2000 a. C. Lì, da un masso al centro di due cerchi di lastre che pesano
ognuna dalle 26 alle 40 tonnellate, si può osservare il punto da cui sorge
il sole all’inizio dell’estate. Secondo alcune leggende l’osservatorio
sarebbe stato creato con pietroni portati dall’Irlanda dal Mago Merlino.
A quel tempo non lo mettevi in casa: andavi tu dal calendario!

A Babilonia e in Egitto, gli astronomi scrutano il cielo e creano calendari.

Gli Egizi sono i primi a idearne uno di 12 mesi di 30 giorni.

Vestiti per legge

Non sempre e non ovunque si può

andare in giro con addosso quel
che si vuole. Ad esempio, nell’Europa
medievale seguire la moda è considerato
immorale, in quanto provoca tentazione
e peccato. Così le autorità civili
e religiose fissano precise regole
sull’abbigliamento, chiamate “Leggi
suntuarie”: dal Trecento al Seicento
in Italia se ne contano 220, in Francia
un centinaio, in Germania 5.000.

Queste leggi impongono limiti alle spese per oggetti di moda

e cerimonie, nonché all’importazione di stoffe e abiti di lusso dall’estero.
Così a Firenze nel 1300 gli Ufficiali delle Donne si appostano nelle piazze
e sui ponti, pronti a multare le donne (ma anche gli uomini) che portano
colletti di pizzo troppo lunghi, ricami e gioielli.

Le imposizioni statali sul vestiario continuano anche nei secoli seguenti:

nel 1892 in Francia sarà finalmente permesso alle donne di indossare
i pantaloni, ma solo quando vanno in bicicletta. Anche la minigonna
non ha vita facile, quando appare nel 1963: all’inizio è vietata per legge
nei Paesi Bassi, oggi è proibita in molti paesi islamici e mal tollerata
anche in un paese buddista come lo Sri Lanka. Infine, in molti stati
di religione musulmana per le donne è obbligatorio portare il velo
quando escono di casa.

The Dormouse’s THE HIPPOPOTAMUS
Daniela Iride Murgia

− SO INNAFFIARE QUANDO PIOVE!

Format: cm 21 x 30 - Pages: 32

Tamo is a young hippopotamus. Every morning he lists all the things he can’t do, as well as the things
he can do. And what he does best is hatch eggs! With this special talent, he soon finds himself part
of a noisy, diverse, and enormous family. A story about kindness and caring for others, in which
difference is seen as a gift, and family is seen as a place of joyful sharing and mutual support.

THE DORMOUSE’S FRIEND

Antonella Capetti - Silvia Molteni

CERTO, DA QUALCHE TEMPO

IL GHIRO SI COMPORTAVA IN MODO
STRANO.

DA QUALCHE TEMPO.
DA QUANDO L’ALLODOLA SE N’ERA ANDATA.
PERÒ NESSUNO CI FACEVA POI MOLTO CASO.
OGNUNO AVEVA LE PROPRIE FACCENDE
A CUI BADARE, MOLTE COSE A CUI PENSARE.

Format: cm 23 x 33 - Pages: 32

A story that celebrates friendship and memories, without avoiding the emptiness we feel when a friend
leaves our life. Last spring, the dormouse and the lark were inseparable friends. Even though she had
wings and he didn’t, they’d meet on the highest branch of the tree. Even though she was always the
first to get up in the morning, they always had so much to talk about. But then she left.
Knowing that they’d probably never see each other again, the dormouse got ready to hibernate for
the winter. But when he woke up, he heard a song that filled his heart with hope.

The space between the mysteries of a night spent outdoors and the quiet of a bedroom is often small,
formed by nothing more than dreams, imagination, play, and the timeless wonder of childhood.

How many things do we still not know about dinosaurs? Here is a question that no scientist can answer
with any certainty: what did their voices sound like? Maybe some of them had high voice like a

have scared anyone with that sound: for him it would have been better to have a powerful roar like
a lion or a tiger…

A RAINBOW OF MY OWN
Alessio Di Simone - Alessandro Di Sorbo

Format: cm 15 x 22 close, cm 250 x 22 open

Mom comes home from work to have lunch with me and then goes back out again. Outside, it’s rain-
ing and gray as I wait for Mom and Dad to come home. I’ve got some history and math homework
to do, but nothing difficult. And the rain keeps falling. I put a cup out the window to fill with water,
and the storm ends. There’s a new rainbow, and it’s all mine. The journey can begin. A very personal
look at rainbows as part of childhood imagery, told through the silence of colors, the little things with
huge importance, and daily routines, which can change from black to white by shifting your perspec-
tive – even by just a little.

IN A CIRCLE
Alessio Di Simone - Alessandro Di Sorbo

Format: cm 15 x 22 close, cm 250 x 22 open

A book that goes around and around, following the moods of nature, time, and life. Two large eyes
open and close, taking in what’s around them as they follow the changing of the seasons, from spring
to summer to fall to winter. There are migrating birds, sap oozing from trees, falling leaves, the icy
wind off the sea. Then there’s a tree, the gentle and unaware protagonist of the story, forever in
change. Created on two sides – like the A and B sides of an old record – In a Circle is an illustrated
story that can be endlessly flipped, starting again each time in a different place. Just like the changing
seasons, which repeat and repeat, always the same but endlessly different.

Claudia Mencaroni - Luisa Montalto

Format: cm 70 x 100

An imaginary friend, a brother who flew away, a friend who left for some far-off place – Seb
is all those things. Or he could be. A book about that unique bond that can only exist between
children, whether they’re nearby, far away, or have never met. Set somewhere between dreams

THE GIFTS OF THE GODS

Giuseppina Norcia - Marcella Brancaforte

Format: cm 70 x 100

Athena asks her father, Zeus, to gift her a magnificent hilltop city where she wants to build her
temple. But Poseidon also wants the city. So, Zeus comes up with a challenge: “The one who
gives the people the most wonderful gift will become the god of their city. They will be given every
honor, and the city will take their name.”
The book imagines the origins of Athens, connecting them, through words and illustrations, to the
origins of the tree that symbolizes the Mediterranean region better than any: the olive tree.

Format: cm 70 x 100

When he was young, my grandfather was a great explorer. He went to so many places. Arabia.
Iceland. Asia. Africa. This is the story of one of his journeys. But told backwards.
One night in a big apartment block, a grandfather sits in the window with his grandson and tells
him a story. As the story becomes more and more astonishing, the building, its windows, and its
rooms all begin to magically change, following his journey around the world step by step. By the
end, everything disappears to reveal the breathtaking spectacle of the star-filled sky, made even
more special by the boy’s imagination.
An illustrated story that plays with the potential of the book’s format, with the final poster-sized
page using phosphorescent printing to make the constellations glow in the dark.

THE PRINCESS WHO WROTE

Nerina Fiumanò - Angelo Ruta

Format: cm 70 x 100

Once upon a time there was a princess. She was young, beautiful, and loved by all. But more
than anything, she loved to be alone and write. Whenever anything troubled her, moved her, or
surprised her, she’d write it down. Somehow it made the whole world more peaceful.
One day, though, her kingdom was invaded. She was put in prison with nothing but a pen. From
that moment, she never stopped writing. She wrote about her dress, her shirt, her feet, her hands,
every part of her body… With everything captured by her words, she kept her whole world alive.

A trilogy dedicated to the cycle of life. Apprehension, bewilderment, joy, restlessness, desire for
change, and melancholy for what gets left behind – on the eve of any important event, many
conflicting emotions flow through us, making the wait itself something meaningful. Then as the
colors of the present, of our slow, silent everyday life, and the poetry of passing time, apparently
unchanging but different in every moment. The nuanced shades colors of the natural images that
accompany these Wallpaper Books® are the perfect visual expression of all these feelings.
The trilogy will be completed by the third book in May 2020.

THE WINDOW
Lorenzo Naia - Roberta Rossetti

Format: cm 16 x 32 - Pages: 60

“The street is horizontal; the buildings are vertical.”

The city can sometimes make us feel small and set apart. Just like the character in this story, who
watches and records everything from his window up on the eighteenth floor. But a “long distance”
meeting with a new friend unleashes his imagination and helps them both see the city in a differ-
ent way. From up in their windows, endless worlds burst open. An invitation to go beyond appear-
ances and open ourselves up to new discoveries, because learning to look for beauty around you
is the first step in finding beauty within yourself.

little tale, a lively and surreal story, that leads readers into an intriguing, hilarious world by turning our
certainties on their heads.

It’s Paris in the early 20th century, and countless cake crumbs feel overlooked and rejected. They
wander forlornly around the city, not understanding the reason for their sad fate.
Sitting at the Jardins des Tuileries, Pepito, a churro crumb, gives precious advice to some orphaned
dough crumbs. He takes them to meet Bibì, a hardworking pastry chef who’s down on his luck and
not getting enough customers. All the crumbs unite in one of Bibì’s dough mixes, giving life to a very
special cake. And the first person to taste it is one of the hardnosed food critiques from the prestig-
ious magazine Paris Gourmet. An adventure through the districts of Paris to discover the wonders of
French pastries, complete with sweet illustrations and recipes for the most famous delights.

 Uglycat
UGLYCAT
Hurry Up, Lisa!
Silvia Oriana Colombo

Format: cm 27 x 23 - Pages: 32

Uglycat is part of Mamacat’s beautiful feline family. He got his name because of his messy, dirty-
looking fur. And he believes it. He thinks he’s so ugly that he doesn’t deserve the love of his mother
or siblings. So, he runs away. But events take an unexpected turn, and his homecoming is faster
(and happier) than anyone could have guessed.
Featuring delightful watercolor illustrations, this book looks at the difficult subject of self-accept-
ance to help kids understand and accept their own ways of being different.

HURRY UP, LISA!

Silvia Oriana Colombo

Format: cm 28 x 21 - Pages: 32

“It’s late!”
“Come on! Get a move on!”
“It’s time to go, Lisa!”
“Quick! School will be over at this rate!”
There’s always a lot of cuffuffle in the morning at Lisa’s house. Time just rushes by for her parents
and siblings. Far too fast for little Lisa, who’d prefer to spend time in her world of games and
imagination. Adult time and child time pass at different speeds. They’re two different ways of liv-
ing. And sometimes that means big arguments and little dramas. Is there some way to stop time?
To slow down the clock? Just for a moment? A book that combines prose and rhyme, reality and
imagination, the world of children and the world of parents.
