LITTLE ELI…PLAYING CARDS

Eli is a tenacious dragonfly with sky high aspirations. One day he finds a pack of cards in the corner of a room and decides to build a tall, very tall, maybe even a bit wobbly castle. Inevitably, it all collapses.
But the unexpected can turn into giant possibilities. You just need to know how to see them.
A book without words about the power of imagination and about the ability not to give up in the face of seeming defeat.

“These are quiet books to be savoured alone or shared with another. They are books to stimulate not just conversation but visual literacies that are, perhaps, less familiar. Bellini is an artist to watch – and these are a welcome addition to the growing number of silent books appearing on the scene.
Delightful, unconventional.”
BOOKS FOR KEEPS

“Hope, invention and making the best of the situation we find ourselves in are all underlining themes in this series that is better experienced that explained. Gorgeous.”
TWOO IN A TEPEE

“A delightful set of wordless picture books which allows your imagination to run wild”.
PICTURE BOOKS BLOGGER

“Non ci sono parole tra le pagine ma i suoni si percepiscono in maniera nitida: il fruscio d’ali di Eli, le carte che cadono a terra, la scatola di matite che si apre. Se osserviamo bene, anche con le orecchie, i libri, di Eli sono tutt’altro che silenziosi”.
SPUNTI DI FUGA

“E’ un inno alla resilienza, alla voglia di non arrendersi mai e di trovare la soluzione nella creatività.”
