A luminous and poetic bedtime picture book — an intimate declaration of love that tells every child the world is wide with possibilities, and you can be more than one thing at once.
How does the world appear to a newborn human baby? Sometimes it seems like a perfectly ordered grid, but it can also be a tangled, impenetrable hedge. And tomorrow? Perhaps it will be a collection of closed doors, fears, and doubts, but it could also be an immense, bright sun that pushes us to grow. Giovanni Colaneri’s striking illustrations — rhythmic, symbolic, deeply contemporary — move between abstraction and figurative elements, creating a visual language that is both playful and radical. What begins as an intimate lullaby between an adult and a child gradually widens into a powerful statement about identity, freedom, and possibility.
