In The Mountains

Picture book

A year of adventure, discovery and outdoor friendship.

A wordless picture book that gently tells the story of three friends spending a full year in the mountains. From warm summer days by alpine lakes to snowy hikes under the stars, every season brings new adventures and surprises: collecting mushrooms, meeting wildlife, building dens or finding shelter in a cosy cabin during a storm. A poetic celebration of nature, friendship and the passing of time.

  • A wordless book that fosters observation, imagination, and shared reading experiences.
  • Irene Penazzi’s unique illustration style captures the rhythm of nature with poetic detail and warmth.
