Irma Sirena

Antonio Tabucchi

Gabriella Giandelli (Ilustrations)

"As she did every year, Irma arrived with the other wagons, to stay for a week. Thin, anaemic, and very pale, she could never go out: she watched us play in the park from the cart window, shyly beckoning us with her hand for us to come closer."

Irma Sirena was the first short story to be published by Antonio Tabucchi. The story is about the friendship between two boys and a mermaid girl, on display as an attraction at a fairground.

The delightful imprint of Gabriella Giandelli is added to the admirable prose of Tabucchi. This wonderful combination makes a book for all ages. 

25 x 20 cm; 24 pp.;

A House for Grandpa

Grassa Toro

Isidro Ferrer  (Illustrations)

"My grandmother, my mother, my siblings and I climb up to the highest point of the mountain. This was the place we were looking for. Very close to a town surrounded by sunflowers. We bury Grandpa and build the house right above him."

A happy family sets out in search for a place to bury Grandpa: they find the perfect place among the sunflowers and build a new house there where "all" of them will continue to live.

A symbolic and subtle story about memories and the loved ones who remain in our lives.











Isidro Ferrer uses charming characters to portray the cycle of life, where the past is a driving force for the nature. A House for Grandpa won Spain's National Illustration Prize in 2006.

20 x 20 cm; 32 pp.; Hardback
