Naïm

Illustrations for “Naïm”, a novel for kids from 10 years. Nominated for the XXIII Premi Llibreter (Catalan’s Bookseller Prize).

“Mother writes what she thinks. Dad talks when he wants to. The teacher talks without end. The TV is always on. Rima has a cell phone. Eulalia, everyone listens to her. Turtle always sleeps. I have stories to tell. I want to put them together in this book so that I don’t forget them and have them read by anyone.”

Naïm is an eleven-year-old boy who writes about his experiences; some are sad, some are funny, some are loving… They all respond to their sensitive gaze and tenacious need to express himself. And who is Naim? Naïm is a bit like all of us.
