Paolo Rumiz’s debut picture book, Il gufo e la merla, just hit shelves, offering a sweet tale about love that bridges unlikely gaps.
- The story follows an owl and a blackbird who, despite their contrasting habits, discover a deep affection for each other.
- Rumiz’s simple, heartfelt narrative lets readers of all ages see that differences can be a source of strength, not division.
- Erika De Pieri’s warm illustrations bring the feathered duo to life, using soft colours and expressive eyes to highlight their growing bond.
- Emme Edizioni released the book in Italy, positioning it as a gentle reminder that love often thrives where we least expect it.
It’s a charming read that feels like a friendly chat about acceptance.
