The great battle

"Go over to the window and look up at the sky: is it raining? Yes? Well, in that case, now is the right time to find a nice spot on the couch, make yourself comfortable and read this book.”

With The great battle, Andrea Antinori tells us how sometimes trying to defeat an uncontrollable enemy like the rain can be useless: we can use all our tricks to come out on top – boats, sponges, hats of all kinds – but in the end we come to understand that we have to try to live with it and just wait for the sun to return.
More annoying than a bear that takes up the entire page (and that readers of Noemi Vola, a fellow young Corraini author, will not have difficulty recognising), resistant to any new solution and cheerfully mischievous, the rain continues to roar stubbornly between the pages of this book: a story of yellow raincoats, frogs and great battles.

This book is also available in Italian.
