A LITTLE DARKNESS<br />
age: 4+<br />
by Cristina Petit<br />
Il Castoro<br />
Milano, <strong>2014</strong><br />
32 pages<br />
An essential, tiny but powerful story to<br />
make children acquainted with the<br />
darkness.<br />
With simple and neat illustrations Cristina Petit<br />
- in Italy a very famous blogger and teacher -<br />
copes with the children’s biggest fear.<br />
Are those big scary red lights the eyes of a wolf<br />
that maybe wants to eat me? Are those flickering<br />
yellow lights the teeth of a tiger?<br />
It’s just a little darkness for me / And I am<br />
brave, I can see what it is! That’s what Talla<br />
tells to herself, in her little journey across<br />
her home at night.<br />
And she’s right, because there are no scary<br />
creatures in the various rooms - just the lights<br />
of some very common domestic appliances: the TV<br />
screen, the stereo, the washing machine... and in<br />
the end, there is even mummy’s reading light!
