Children's & YACome ali di gabbiano
by Lorenza Farina, Anna Pedron (illustrator)
One day Anne Frank meets a friend dressed in a red and white plaid dress. It is love at first sight. Anna confides to him what will happen to her in the two years of forced segregation lived in the secret quarters to escape the Nazi raids. He will be of great comfort to her, he knows how to dry her tears and keep her secrets. He will fly high as a seagull over all forms of violence, making the world aware of the message of peace that his young friend has engraved on his white wings. Anna is certain that no one will ever tear those wings and the words that are written on them. This desire will come true, making it a symbol of the Shoah and of a humanity trampled and vilified, thanks to her living witness today more than ever. To those who have not yet read the famous Diary, this story in images and words is an invitation to learn more through a new original point of view.
