Who? What?

A very lonely man dreamed he lost a little cat, a little cat that didn’t even existed.
The next morning, he came across with Eduardo, the neighbor next door who was watering the plants, and told him. He felt confused and anguished because of the dream, but he didn’t really understand why:
–at the end, none of it happened –he concluded.

A funny story in which a broken telephone will make a whole neighbourhood come together to help, in an apparently unnecessary way, a lonely neighbour.
In this work as an integral author, Ana Sanfelippo joins the text to her unmistakable strokes that, with comedy, tell the story of a community that supports each other.

Key points

• The illustration as a game; it includes a special dynamic of searching for the character in the endpapers.
• A story about diversity and mutual help in community.
• An author and a story with a special sensitivity to difference and inclusion.
