Mao Mao

Mao lives on the outskirts of a big city, in the ruins of an amphitheater. No one knows where she came from, but everyone knows about her gift: listening in a very special way. She can listen to the people of the town, the children, the language of the animals, and even the wind in the trees. When Mao Mao listens to her friend Gigi, Gigi suddenly comes up with incredible stories; and Beppo, the usually quiet scavenger, finds just the right words to communicate with Mao Mao and share his great wisdom: that the seemingly infinite road can only be traveled one step at a time. This engaging picture book invites children and adults alike to explore: what happens when you listen with your heart?
