But can Whales fly?

And if they could fly where would they go?

Emanuele Oliveri’s illustrations open our eyes to an incredible journey, in which our imagination is invited to go beyond the confines of the pages and open up to the story’s infinite possibilities. The young readers will find themselves telling the story of a whale’s journey by bringing their own memories and desires to it and therefore making it their own.

After reading Emanuele’s book together, each child will have a sheet of paper the size of a page of the book. They will also have a sheet on which images of the protagonists will be printed, so they can be cut out.

The children will be invited to create new pages of the book with the distributed cut-outs and coloured pieces of paper; they will be able to create new characters with the paper cut-outs and oil pastels to make a new landscape for the whale to cross .

At the end of the workshop we will read together the pages the children designed for the whale’s journey, a long journey before reaching the sea!
