Una piccola parola dal cuore

An ode to the ability to know how to apologize and to friendship.

Joseph Coelho, with his proverbial delicacy and poeticism, tells the story of how a big, hairy argument between two best friends escalates and escalates and escalates until it becomes huge, ruining the fun of all the children on the playground.

All it takes is a simple but very powerful little word between the two friends to make the monster-lithium shrink until it disappears. Coelho’s delicate and lyrical verses combine perfectly with Allison Colpoys’ beautiful illustrations to create a book that will be enjoyed by young readers.
