A sweet and intense picture book, made by two beloved Italian authors. A tender and affectionate dialogue between a little squirrel who acts up and his mother who calms and reassures him.
In a fairytale-like forest, the squirrel asks his mother questions that touch the roots of their bond. To each question, the answer us always the same: “Because I love you”.
A timeless story that celebrates the power of unconditional love and will warm the heart of every reader.
