An eye for Annai
Jonathan Klassen & Daniel Rodrigues (2012)
Sinopsi
Annai is looking for the eye he is missing. He goes deep into the sea, on top of the mountains, between the bushes and the trees and in the feathers of birds. But he still can’t find his other eye. However, the best solution appears when the impatience disappear, when life flows and we learn to accept that our differences make us special. Everyone in the world has something to offer. You have just to be ready to find what is it for you.
