A thousand and one questions a little girl asks herself during a stormy night. Questions that are full of poetry, of existential depth and of ironic and amusing contrasts.
Bologna Ragazzi Award
"The very same existential issues raised by philosophers are those questions all children usually ask, with the utmost naturalness, to their parents. The main character is a kid who has a more solid appearance than Saint Exupéry’s Little Prince and a more delirous, joker, sense of humour".(Babelia, El País).
"Stormy night is the title of a book which breaks the mould (…) It is the tale of our childhood and the tale of humankind’s childhood. It is the tale of the night terrors, the fear of the dark, the fear of the unknown, of the universal ignorance about our past and our future, it is the tale of the pressing need for understanding the world and for a better knowledge or what we are.” (Biblogtecarios).
"Absolutely essential" (Boolino)
“It is likely one of the best picture books in the last years” (Teresa Durán in El Periódico).
“Extraordinary! Stormy night is a small masterpiece” (Cuatrogatos, Children’s Literature Magazine).
“The value of this book – one of many values – is in the exquisite simplicity the questions are outlined with, in the excellent feedback between text and illustration and in a beautiful edition that makes reading it a pleasure for all senses” (Ana Garralón in Educación y Biblioteca).
