DESDE 6 AÑOS. Abrimos en un jardín como la puerta de un lugar secreto: con un gesto lento y cauteloso, mientras que la impaciencia se mezcla con una deliciosa aprensión. Y tan pronto como el umbral ha pasado, qué encanto! "En silencio, el jardín se despierta", y aquí estamos invitados a una aventura de percepción. Bañado por una luz crepuscular, una naturaleza exuberante, con colores vibrantes, se extiende hasta donde alcanza la vista. El viento sopla, hace crujir el follaje. Las sábanas y los columpios flotan. En este universo bucólico, personajes escapados de las pinturas de Manet, criaturas de ensueño y aves de todo tipo descansan. Ocultos en los elementos de enjambre de la decoración, las contraventanas revelan animales y plantas maravillosas. Todo está hecho para darle al lector tiempo para disfrutar de la magia de los paisajes. Las oraciones cuelgan, el tiempo se extiende. La lectura es deambular, pasear. Un álbum con vuelos líricos que invita a una pequeña lentitud y mucha ensoñación.
