The publishing house Kalandraka publish a romantic masterpiece starring Mario and Maria, an elderly couple, in love more than ever, that in a spontaneous and simple welcome signs that the passage of time has produced on their bodies: you vain as a young woman , looking in the mirror, teasing with humor, he loves to dance with her, his eyes still looks beautiful like the sun.
Together Maria and Mario are an example for all of us in the West ; too frightened by the physical and aesthetic changes with age which forces us to confront in order to see the good things and the treasures that length may reserve as joy for the little things and the daily suffering.
In fact, as the editors write, "Nonni" is an accredited illustrated children of all ages, grade had a success in Japan, China and Korea, countries where the age is cause for joy and celebration. A great message for children and adults so as not to lose contact with the generations that preceded us years, all too often made today at the corner because they thought was "old" and uncomfortable and to consider the passage of time an essential tool that allows us to learn to appreciate with joy the little things in life.
The poetic text is accompanied by watercolor illustrations in soft pastel colors that accentuate the sweet dream of the characters and the story told.
