This book is the story of a child who seems to be clumsy and incapable, except when, during the summer, he spends time with his grandmother cooking. In those moments she feels comfortable, happy and satisfied. The grandmother's disappearance and a dreamlike journey in her search are the viaticum for the discovery of the protagonist's talent, through lively and fun rhymes, and terrifying nightmarish Gothic images. Matteo Razzini's writing meets the surrealist and magical flair of Alessandro Ferraro's images, giving rise to a register of rare expressive happiness from the very first glance.
