Building a book is much more than putting words and images together: it’s a journey through thoughts, emotions, and insights, where the unexpected becomes part of the creative magic. Designing without rigid frameworks means listening to the material in our hands, letting it inspire us, following unexpected paths, and rediscovering the joy of creative play. For young children, fingers are tools of knowledge, capable of turning each page into a sensory adventure.
With the scientific direction of Alessandra Falconi, the volume offers teachers, librarians, museum and cultural operators, 8 interdisciplinary programmes that help adults and kindergarten/primary school children to discover how paper, so simple and familiar, can still surprise and tell the most unexpected stories.
