Short tale of a girl and her cat who wanted to hang to the moon
Finalist at the Cento literary award 2010
A little girl in a hospital room with a view of the moon tries to cope with life:
doctors, her father, two rivals in love, Erik the puppeteer, the beautiful nurse
Sasha, and an anemic cat as a companion of adventure....
Dealing with the topic of sickness in a delicate and nonviolent way, this book is a
modern fairytale that parents can read with their children to discuss very important
issues.
