Pronti al decollo!

by Ciavatta, Grazia
Pronti al decollo!

What truly defines who we are? Is it better to stay home or to take off and discover the world? And what takes more courage: leaving…or staying?

In an artificial lake inside a city park lives a peaceful colony of ducks. Chicco and his friends lead quiet, predictable lives, shaped by routine and comfort. But when a migratory duck unexpectedly lands in their pond, it throws the whole colony into confusion, especially Chicco.

He can’t stop asking himself questions:
What lies beyond the fence? How do you learn to migrate? And what’s the best way to live your life: staying safe at home or daring to leave?
