A lonely squirrel goes searching for a new home, only to discover
that the best place is one where the whole community can live
together. Joining Barefoot's acclaimed collection of
social-emotional titles, this tale offers the perfect opportunity
to start conversations about coping with loneliness, the importance
of community, and what makes a place feel like home. Beautiful
illustrations by award-winning Italian artist Simona Mulazzani
bring Squirrel's journey to life.
Winner of the Premio Selezione Campiello prize and the Premio
Alessandro Manzoni award for best historical novel, The
Watercolourist is the irresistible Italian bestseller from Beatrice
Masini. Nineteenth-century Italy. A young woman arrives at a
beautiful villa in the countryside outside Milan. Bianca, a gifted
young watercolourist, has been commissioned to illustrate the
plants in the magnificent grounds. Bianca settles into her grand
new home, invited into the heart of the family by the eccentric
poet Don Titta, his five children, his elegant and delicate wife
and powerful, controlling mother. As the seasons pass, the young
watercolourist develops her art - inspired by the landscape around
her - and attracts many admirers. And while most of the household's
servants view her with envy, she soon develops a special affection
for one housemaid, who, she is intrigued to learn, has mysterious
origins . . . But as Bianca's determination to unlock the secrets
of the villa grows, she little notices the dangers that lie all
around her. Who is the mysterious woman she has glimpsed in the
gardens? What could Don Titta and his friends be whispering about
so furtively? And while Bianca watches so carefully for clues, who
is watching her? In The Watercolourist, set against the
intoxicating background of an Italy on the cusp of change, a young
woman's naive curiosity will take her far into the territory of
hidden secrets, of untold truth and of love.
