It’s the the season of love, and books are a perfect way to talk with children about it.
Valentine’s Day can be a great opportunity for parents to teach the value of this word.
These children’s books introduces the theme of love in many different ways and for kids with different ages: silent books, lovely characters, the power of love against prejudice, the meaning of falling in love, and the value of freedom.
A real catalog of poetic and humorous, unlikely and authentic kisses. A long silent book that needs no words, but to which each one can give his voice. A sample of natural and unpublished effusions, because we will have to start kissing again, without foreclosures or prejudices.
A folding book that is not folding but, as its author says, “A fierce sentimental device”.

The book gives us a vision of two houses that we can keep observing with a zoom in. The view shows two neighbors, two strangers, separated by a wall. Two different worlds where a SHE draws, in an ethnic atmosphere in dark and earthy colours. While a HE dyes fabrics in a garden where bright colours and plants stand out. It’s enough to remember that we just need very little, maybe just a flower flying away, to open our eyes and change once for all our lives!
A beautiful book about difference, love and tolerance and against any kind of racism and prejudice! A powerful message with stunning images, full of colours and poetry…

When your heart races…
