In sparse, poetic language that all of us, however young or old, can understand, \u003ci\u003eChild of Glass\u003c\/i\u003e reminds us of our birthright to become ourselves. Freedom isn't about accepting what is; it's about asking the questions and taking the actions that allow us to be at home in the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBeautifully illustrated in a painterly, drawn, and collaged style, this is a story of layers, textures, and transparencies in every sense. It is also a book that explores the possibilities of form to render idea, thereby providing connective tissue between the world of the book and life in the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"To draw is to tell. Everyone who feels emotion has something to tell. Emotions keep on changing, growing, as children do. My drawings and stories change with them.\" So says \u003cb\u003eBeatrice Alemagna\u003c\/b\u003e, who was born in Bologna, Italy, in 1973.
