Bounce Bounce



 
An original character and his funny adventure inside a balloon that travels between earth, sea and sky. A silent book that will make your curiosity and imagination "bounce".
  






BOUNCE BOUNCE is a funny and engaging silent book conceived for children. 
The book tells the adventure of a funny pet who, inside a balloon, "bounces and flies" up in the sky, into space, and deep down into the sea... 
A journey through a world suspended between dream and reality in which every place and every character, including the little balloon, has a curious identity to be discovered. 
A picture story that involves the reader in a playful game able to surprise up to the last page.
 


"... In some ways, a silent book is even more beautiful than a written book.

A silent book, in particular a well done silent book of course, definitely  raises more questions, makes us more investigative, more reflective, more independent and ultimately more involved as co-authors in the narrative contained in it. 

A silent book is always adventurous and surprising in the same way for those who imagined it at first and for those who reads and will re-imagines it along the way.
A silent book provokes a brand new emotion every time."
Ferruccio Giromini
