Dragonfly and Falling Star (Italian Edition)

The fairy tale is the place of all hypotheses: it can give us keys to enter reality through new paths, and can help a child to know the world. (Gianni Rodari)

How do you tell a child the story of their adoption? How do you make them understand that the journey that has brought them into our arms has been designed by love from the beginning?

This book, written by Lela Danza, who also created the beautiful illustrations, is a fairy tale inspired by a true story. A true story that has become a fairy tale in the name of Love. Deer and Wolf desire with all their hearts a puppy that never arrives, and with the help of their forest friends, they entrust their dream to the Dragonfly, who in the night sky spots a very bright shooting star.

The dragonfly symbolizes the signs of destiny, what you would never have thought you could see and which, when you recognize them and listen to them, can reserve great changes for you. The shooting star is faith, the belief in one's dreams and the making of these dreams come true.

After all, what are shooting stars? They are just meteors that burn up as they enter the Earth's atmosphere at high speed, yet we call them stars. And adoption, beyond the bureaucracy, is also made of signs and faith, a meteor that when triggered, "moving", changes its trajectory becoming a wonderful and special thing for those who manage to "watch it".

At the end of the book, a precious gift: the author has reserved a diary space for children and their families of the heart so that they can write down their stories.

A unique fairy tale, dedicated to those who know what it means to live in a family of the heart and to the extraordinary journeys that lead to adoption: the most powerful face of parenting. Not to be missed, for adults and children.
