The Imaginary Friend
Andrea Tullio Canobbio, Luisa Torchio
A colour in the crowd
Picture book
What can I become? Who will I be? Whatever I want. Whoever I please.
A child reflects on his identity in rhyme, starting from the fact that he is something different depending on the context. A tenant in the building; a pupil at school; on the street, for some, he is an unwelcome dash of colour. A colour can become anything it wants when it’s set free.
- A delicate rhyming tale that’s full of meaning.
