Chiederò a cento pettirossi

Aphorism is a literary form that in a few words encompasses irony, poetry, wisdom, sarcasm… There is no limit to the arguments and emotions that it can deal with, what characterizes it is the strength of thought that animates it. This book collects short ‘thoughts’ that have the world of animals as their red thread, with its protagonists and its powerful symbols. Small poetic narrations that dialogue with the illustrations, building a visual path that will guide the children in a suspended and contemplative universe. They will then try their hand at the aphorism.


Alberto Casiraghy, texts. Author, illustrator, publisher-craftsman.

Bimba Landmann, illustrations. Since 1988 he has been dealing with illustration for children, enjoying great success also abroad.
