Viola and the Moon

Picture book

Little Viola has two really special grandparents.


They’re electricians, but very, very particular ones… in fact they’re responsible for the care and good functioning of the Moon and Sun! On the occasion of Grandparents’ Day therefore, she tries to explain their work at school, but no one believes her…

  • A feast for the eyes and a loving tribute to the highly important role of grandparents.

  • An opportunity for a playful look at the phases of the moon; a romantic tale and a journey into the wonders of the sky.

  • A tender and original story that celebrates children’s imagination and the invisible magic of the bond between generations.
