Sunset is the story of a child born between two worlds, like Africa and Europe. Between two colours, two cultures, two diverse ways of living.
So, like the real sunset, he lives right in the middle, among Day and Night, finding the best way accepting his condition as natural, discovering the advantages and richness inside the unity of differences.
The story promote common understanding among diverse cultures, against racism and all kind of discrimination.
It was published by Italian Publishers Edizioni Lapis in 2002 and by Tempesta Editore in 2017 as a picture book for children.
In 2003 the book was awarded by the International Youth Library (IYL, Monaco) with the White Ravens, a recognition to the works of the world considered to be of special value and it was selected in 2011 for the “Night of the tales”, event promoted throughout Switzerland by the Bibliomedia Italian Switzerland.
