UM MAR DE AMOR

Bear and Penguin are friends. But can their friendship continue even after a big secret is revealed? This is a story about the courage to say what we feel -- even when it scares us.
 
Penguin goes on a long trip to visit his friend Bear. On his boat he carries a suitcase, a lamp and a big secret that he is determined to reveal. But Penguin knows that when he tells Bear, nothing will be the same as before... After all, telling how we feel and dealing with reactions to our feelings can be quite challenging (especially if we are not reciprocated).
In this exquisitely illustrated book, full of sweetness and humor, Pieter Gaudesaboos builds a very original, moving narrative structure. The illustrations captivate the reader and express great tenderness, making the emotions and connection between the two main characters very solid and palpable. A work that highlights that love is universal, no matter who you are.
 
Suitable for readers aged 6 and over.
