L'ospedale dei giocattoli
Description:
A few houses away from the one where Airi and the chaotic Baraonda family live, hidden among the cobblestone streets of the old city, there's a small shop that no one has ever seen open. Until, on New Year's Eve, a light appears beyond the window. Airi and Limaca, her inseparable stuffed capybara, fantasize about what might lie within. They don't yet know that behind its doors lies a special place where the magical hands of Dr. Fujita bring broken toys and ruined but beloved stuffed animals back to life. Each of them has a story to tell, and each repair is an act of despair and enchantment. Because when Limaca gets lost and stops speaking, it's as if a piece of Airi's childhood disappears forever. But the friendship that binds a child to their toy is unbreakable, and even the fragile, if cared for with love by the hands of an expert doctor, can shine again. With the grace of someone who knows how to observe the small and precious things, Laura Imai Messina writes a story that restores wonder to the everyday and makes every page a place of self-discovery, healing, and emotion. Her writing is like a sewn thread that binds together adults and children, broken toys, unfulfilled dreams, and never-forgotten promises
