A,B,C and Mrs. Smith

“How can it be that in winter we wear short sleeves in the morning and in the afternoon my geraniums freeze?”

Mrs. Smith is a special and lonely woman. Tired of seeing life passing by in increasingly strange ways, she decides to set off on a trip on Christmas Day in search of a remote place where things are still as she remembers them. But the arrival of Doctor Green, a scientist who invents machines to improve the environment, and her children A, B and C will change her plans and, perhaps, her perspective on life.

Kim Amate’s illustrations add an exquisite plastic work to the book, full of humor and details to discover.
