Layla. Nel regno del re delle nevi

When I was a little girl, Dad called me Layla, a name that means “the top of the mountain.” Thus begins the story of Layla, the child protagonist of a magical adventure in the land of the snow king. Abandoning all the comforts of home and guided by her father, Layla embarks on a journey among the highest peaks of the mountains, discovering unknown people and learning new and important values. A magic story of nature, silence and love. A story to bring young people closer to the mountains and teach them how to live and love nature, how to respect it and establish a silent and profound dialogue with it. “With this fable, I tried to draw children\’s attention to the possibility of living peacefully and joyfully in a different world and make them reflect, so develop an ecological conscience and greater respect for nature: renunciation, not consumption, is the key to happiness. Finally, I hope that I have sufficiently stimulated the curiosity and dreams of my little readers.” Reinhold Messner
