A night of savannah
I came into the world on a full moon
and my grandmother, who is very wise,
helped me to be born.
She encouraged me to be brave
to stand on my own legs
and that’s how, since then,
I walk behind her footsteps.

Through a text written in verse and colourful illustrations, this book addresses family love in the first person and invites you to browse its pages to awaken your aesthetic sensibility and, at the same time, discover the journey of growing up.
