The Ball
Does anyone know where the ball went? Sometimes looking for it can be a lot more fun than finding it.
A book that blends humor, tenderness, and surprise, starting from a situation every child knows well: that moment in the middle of a game when the ball shoots off and disappears.
The story focuses on the search, with a clear, repetitive, and rhythmic structure that invites readers to anticipate, join in, and have fun with every new situation. Along the way, other characters appear and are interrupted, leading to an ending with an unexpected twist that readers will love. The beautiful and highly expressive illustrations enhance and amplify the humor of the story.
