                               CICERO
                               Illustrated by Paolo Domeniconi

Cicero is a boy who lives on an island full of nature, and fills the pages of his childhood
with many small daily adventures. His best friend is a little girl named Zita. Both children
almost every day go and see a whale that is beautiful like a queen, and listen to the sea
and then admire a tree full of oranges, in sleepwalker nights. Around Cicero there is a
sample of lives, smiles, affections and pains. Unbelievable and very human characters,
that are strange but difficult to leave. A story that begins and ends with a departure,
because like a journey is our life.

Antonio Ferrara was born in Portici (Naples) in 1957 and lives in
Novara. He has worked for a few years in a housing community for
minors, now holds of illustration and creative writing workshops

windows of which are always shut. Nino is the yougest and has some fear of that
mysterious building. He is not the only one to be curious - who is living there? What do
they do in it? Why is there always a car parked outside? Getting answers seems not so
easy, but Nino is kinky and Elena, her big sister, has clear ideas. Then finally the
windows open up and the house is turned into an aggregation center for children and
teenagers of the village.
They may be all happy, but one night ... someone set fire to the house.

Martin is a black guy in America in the 1930s and tells us his story through the most
significant episodes of his life, the invincibility of ideas even in the face of time and
death. The autobiographical tale alternates with as many episodes that, in different parts
of the world, can happen to boys like him today. To understand that there is still a long
way to go to respect human rights.
Martin's dream must not remain an unrealistic hope but a possible goal.

The Earth Is a Great Carousel
di Debora Bertozzi e Sergio Staino

A collection of six short stories thet are freely drawn from six of Fabrizio De André's
most famous songs. Rose's mouth, the Fisherman, the Judge, the Unhappy King, the Probo Man,
Geordie and Marinella, as inhabitants of a small, marginal world, can meet and talk,
albeit always and still remain themselves. These stories, created for little readers, are
suspended between myth and reality and crowded with lost souls, and mantain a
viewpont point under wind from which De André sent his message of freedom and
redemption against bullying and overpowering.

Debora Bertozzi, after having worked in the organization of musical and cultural
events, since 1994 has devoted herself exclusively to teaching. She holds training
courses for teachers and workshops in primary and junior high school classes to
introduce Fabrizio De André to children.

Sergio Staino, illustrator, writer, film director and cultural operator. Restless soul of
the Marxist left, he was the "historical" cartoonist and then director of the newspaper
"Unità", but his stripes appear in many Italian newspapers and periodicals. He lives
and works in Scandicci, in Tuscany.

Fabrizio De André (Genoa, February 18, 1940 - Milan, January 11, 1999) was an
Italian songwriter. He is considered by most critics one of the greatest Italian
songwriters of all times

Luca tells his secret diary the path that starts from a complicated life at home and comes
to the serenity of the "extra family", with another mother, another father and an older
brother, who flanks his family of origin .
In the middle, all the questions, the emotions, the fears, the vortex of feelings that invest
him in this experience.
Roberto Piumini, with a light and gentle pen, explains what is the custody, how it works,
what do the families feel - the original and the foster - and the children, what are the
questions, the fears, the wealth and the hopes that this experience involves, and does so
with the eyes of a child, telling how much "extended families" are fundamental in the
lives of children and adults who need them.
