Lucy and her grandfather are the focus of this poignant and warm story that teaches that wrinkles are badges of happiness rather than signs of age. Lucy asks Granddad, “Why doesn't your skin fit you? It's all crinkly,” to which he replies, “Those crinkles are called wrinkles,” each of which he got when he smiled especially big. As Lucy traces Granddad's joy-filled face, he describes his memories and shares the cause of each line—his wedding day, Lucy's mother's birth, precious moments from her childhood, and Lucy's birth, among others. Beautiful drawings recreate each thoughtful memory, and the recollections showcase an intimate bond between the two generations.

IL libro "NONNO OLIVER A CASA VERDIANA" apre al lettore un mondo molto vicino alle famiglie Inglesi, Italiane e di tutto il mondo civile, cioè quello relativo alle Case di Riposo per persone della terza età cosiddette AUTOSUFFICIENTI,ma che spesso per muoversi utlizzano un carrello deambulatore. Sono presenti aspetti della vita quotidiana, delle amicizie e delle relazioni tra loro, con le Suore che gestiscono Casa Verdiana, con i medici, gli operatori civili e i loro famigliari. Quest'ultimi sono fondamentali per la loro salute fisica e mentale, perché con il loro affetto e le loro visite hanno l'effetto paragonabile a quello ottenuto con le terapie mediche e con una buona assistenza materiale, fisica e spirituale. Riflette la società Inglese, Italiana e di altre nazioni del mondo, perché le persone ospitate sono per la maggior parte donne, che vivono più a lungo degli uomini. Iniziano ad essere presenti anche stranieri come NONNO OLIVER, segno che la società italiana è sempre più internazionale e multirazziale.

The book "GRANDFATHER LIAM A CASA AZZURRA" opens to the reader a world very close to American, Italian and civilized families, namely the one relating to Rest Homes for so-called SELF-SUFFICIENT people, but who often use a walking trolley to move around. There are aspects of daily life, friendships and relationships between them and with the Sisters who manage Casa Azzurra, as well as with doctors, civil workers and their families. In fact, the latter with their affection and their visits are fundamental for their physical and mental health, on a par with medical therapies and good material, physical and spiritual assistance. It reflects the American, Italian and other nations of the world society because the people hosted are mostly women, who live longer than men, but foreigners such as NONNO LIAM are also starting to be present, a sign that Italian society is increasingly international and multiracial.

This gorgeous, haunting saga tells the story of modern Turkey and its diverse communities through the life of a gravestone maker. In the city of Mardin, near Turkey’s border with Syria, the orphaned Avdo finds purpose when an old mason takes him on as an apprentice. From Master Josef, he learns the importance of their art, which looks after the dead and bears witness to their lives. Avdo then travels the country and meets a woman he loves wholeheartedly, only to lose her through a tragic crime. Resigned to a lonely existence, he retreats from the world into his cemetery workshop, but even there, life, with all its sorrows, joys, injustices, and gifts, draws him in unexpected directions. An intimate, indelible epic, Stone and Shadow melds fragments not only from twentieth-century Turkish history, but also from the Ottoman Empire, the wider Middle East, and Europe. Together they form a breathtaking picture of a rich, complex society that encompasses Christians, Sunni Muslims, Alawites, Turks, Kurds, and Armenians.
