Translated by Brenda Porster.
Illustrated by
Simona Mulazzani.
In a dreamlike fantasy--told in two separate stories starting at opposite sides of the book--a drop from an artist's ink bottle and a snowflake falling from the sky are serendipitously united in the air (at the book's middle). The Italian import is carried by Mulazzani's gorgeous art, which incorporates delicate, intricate laser cutouts of lacy-snowflake and irregular-inkblot designs.
