Sassi Children's book La Légende De Riquiqui

From author Valeria Bellobono, who won the 2019 Andersen Prize with this story. A touching recit where a love that ignores all differences shines through.
Once upon a time, a very long time ago, there was a child so small he could fit comfortably inside a flower. Bianca had cared for him lovingly since the day elle found him, so small and alone, during a heavy snowfall that had completely covered the village of Bijankik. The little boy, with skin and hair as white as milk, was struggling against the cold, clinging to a snowdrop flower. He was crying his eyes out. Bianca took Riquiqui in as her own son, and opened the doors of her home and her heart to him.
