The three little devils

The book tells the daily lives of three children living in an apartment, their joys and mishaps, and their parents' concerns about raising them. One of the children, Cristiano, dreams of living in a house with a backyard. And, while waiting for this dream to become reality, he creates imaginary friends and transforms his room into the long-awaited backyard. • The author often celebrates childhood in her books. Here, she explores the world of children in an increasingly restricted environment: the apartment. • Its themes include the hustle and bustle of modern life and its implications for family life, the absence of parents due to work, and the reduced space in which children grow up. • Ears by Laura Sandroni, author of children's books.
