Author: Giulia Pastorino, Sergio Olivotti
Growing up means changing day by day, and little Ugo is finding that out on his own skin! One day he wakes up SQUIGGLY, another day DOTTY; and each change affects his mood and behaviour at school & with his friends. But Ugo is still Ugo, even if he feels a little different every morning, and what's the point of being all the same all the time? A book about change, about accepting transformation & growth, about the shaky concept of 'normality.'Until the last pages, adults are never seen in full, but only up to the waist. A contrivance that gives us a surprise in the story's ending, and tells us that growing up also means discovering the complexity and fallibility of one's parents.
ISBN 9791254931028. Edizioni Corraini. hb. 40 pages. 24 x 19 cm.
