When I was born
Specialists say that our discovery of the world starts inside our mother’s belly.
While we lay there all cosy, we already listen to music, recognise voices, follow our mother’s emotions closely. But it’s like all these discoveries were waiting for some validation… which arrives on the day we are born.
That’s where the great adventure starts. That of breathing, tasting, feeling…
Some of these discoveries that made (and still make us) us awe parade through the pages of this book. Discoveries as simple as the colour that paints the bottom of the sea, the sound of a leaf touching the ground, or the smell of holidays when Summer arrives.
A book that welcomes every baby.
