A Great, Great Party

Mom Rabbit is organizing a birthday party for her son Rodi and asks Squirrel to help spread the invitation. But from that point on, the original message begins to distort. Each animal, absorbed in their own concerns, unintentionally adds their own interpretation, and the invitation turns into a clever game of telephone.
Lavezzi uses this narrative device to explore, with lightness and humor, profound themes: communication, subjectivity, everyday distraction, and above all, communal affection. Each animal actively takes part in building a collective event. The party ends up being a success, not despite the misunderstandings, but because of them.
The colorful illustrations, true to Lavezzi’s unmistakable style, feature humanized animals in scenes full of details and humorous situations that complement and expand the narrative in extraordinary ways.
A story that develops, with great humor and intelligence, the importance of community, diversity, and the transformative power of connection.
