He worries that he'll be lonely, separated from his friends, who will now only exist inside his cell phone. Upon arrival at their new house, Lorenzo discovers an old desk, with what seems like hundreds of drawers. Each drawer even has its own smell! Deep inside the desk, he finds a notebook and begins to read. With every page he turns, his interest grows, and soon he is transported into a new, magical and wondrous world. A story within a story, each one visually different and striking, the movement here is between two worlds, with images from the notebook and from Lorenzo's imagination spilling into the everyday. This is a graphic novel about the power of observation, imagination and the many incredible lenses through which we each experience our lives.\n\nVisually stunning, created in both luminous paint and cut-paper art, this is a debut at the summit from a self-taught Argentinian visionary.\n\nISBN: 978-1-59270-309-8\n8\" (W) x 12\" (H) • 184 pages • HCJ • Ages 7-12","brand":"Enchanted Lion Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52994543878426,"sku":"9781592703098","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0976\/3209\/2442\/files\/cuando-levantas-la-mirada.jpg?v=1792101091"},{"product_id":"chirri-chirra-in-the-night","title":"Chirri \u0026 Chirra, In the Night","description":"Written and illustrated by Kaya Doi\n\nTranslated by David Boyd\n\nA Wall Street Journal 20 Best Children's Books of the Past 20 Years Selection!\n\nChirri and Chirra frolic in the moonlight in the latest whimsical adventure of this much-beloved picture-book series.\n\nWith the light of their trusty bicycles and a glorious full moon illuminating the darkness, Chirri and Chirra take on the night, accompanied by their new cat friends.

Except, did we mention that he's also a little onion? You read that right: In this fantastic book of high political drama—a classic of Italian children's literature—all of the characters are fruits, vegetables, and animals.\n\nHere, Cipollino sets out to free his wrongfully imprisoned father. In the process, he faces off against scoundrels of all kinds. What hangs in the balance is nothing more or less than the freedom of an entire kingdom from the senseless rules imposed by the tyrannical Prince Lemon, and the equal dignity of each blueberry, string bean, and spider.\n\nWritten in the atmosphere of hope and enthusiasm of post-World War II Italy, Cipollino and his friends don't rely on weapons and violence in their battle against injustice, but rather on jokes and tricks, ingenuity and courage, heart and solidarity. With much laughter, luck, and pluck, they band together to bring fun, respect, and decency back to the land.\n\nISBN: 978-1-59270-416-3 • 6.25\" (W) x 9.5\" (H) • 256 pages • HCJ","brand":"Enchanted Lion Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52994544337178,"sku":"9781592704163","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0976\/3209\/2442\/files\/adventures-cipollino.jpg?v=1792101247"}],"url":"https:\/\/bonitabodega.com\/collections\/enchanted-lion-books.oembed","provider":"Bonita Bodega","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
