Discarilandia. Un luogo dove ogni cosa trova il suo posto

Discarilandia is a great little miracle. A silent book that speaks wordlessly to children about social issues, inclusion, friendship.

The book contains a QR Code that tells the story.

Silvia Marinelli’s illustrations sketch a fairy-tale yet contemporary atmosphere in which Discarilandia comes to life , a place where everything finds its place and where everyone finally feels at home.

Young readers will learn to familiarize themselves with the main characters in the story: Cigarette butt, Plastic Bottle and Paper Sheet. And of their journey in search of the magical place to which all waste longs to go. Helping them is a human, A, a bored child who doesn’t know who to play with.

The peculiarity of the book is that the story is not set in fairy places, forests or castles, but on the outskirts of an ordinary city. And the main characters are not knights, dragons or superheroes but ordinary trash.

Through the story of three rejections and a bored child, the book teaches a great truth: wherever we live and whoever we are only by helping each other will we discover that we are never truly alone after all.
