Doubt

Pia Valentinis



«I always have so many doubts...»





Doubt is maybe one of the few items we are given in life to learn how to choose and how to appreciate its different paths. But doubt is also a way to explore the connection between both our inner and outer world.

This book invites us to think of ourselves, of the way we are related to our family and friends and all those feelings which set human condition apart.

The harmony between the text and the illustrations shows the sensibility of Pia Valentinis. She chooses the fable to create an atmosphere of intimacy and complicity with the reader. This is a book that will let the children think about their own certainties by means of doubt.
