Mending

Who has never had a hole in their sock or wondered what happens to all those odd socks that disappear?
This book that invites us to reflect on memory, affections, and environmental awareness through the metaphor of mending. Written with delicate language and offering multiple layers of reading, it links the transmission of knowledge between generations with practices like repairing, reusing, and recycling, all within a story centered on the bond between a grandmother and her granddaughter.
The illustrations, rich in detail and symbolism, accompany an intimate narrative that blends tenderness with social critique.
