An ode to love and a positive attitude through fun, colorful, and action-packed images that challenge the reader to decipher how many stories unfold.
It all begins with a peaceful stroll along the seaside. A love-struck dog has found the love of its life, or so it believes. But that's not the only thing that will happen...
Here is an illustrated album representing an ode to love and a positive attitude. It is a narrative and illustrative game that offers us a story of love--or perhaps two or even three. Who knows!
It will be the reader's task to discover how many stories can unfold in the same setting, where symbolism and metaphor come together to offer us a "sea" of enjoyable reading. A message of positivity and perseverance in the face of our goals and objectives; only in this way can we distance ourselves from negative feelings such as frustration.
Maintaining a constructive attitude will allow us to make the most of things and will ensure that, no matter what happens, we always extract the best from every situation. Because if, despite trying, things don't turn out as we expected... It doesn't matter!
There is no room for discouragement or defeat. We always have the option to try again, even more eager and stronger.
And of course, it's also a nod to love, an invitation to look "with eyes of the heart," to be happier and to make others happier too.
