Baucis: A Tale of Childhood Near the River Po
An Invitation
Our story is simple, about a boy and a girl.
They go about their lives, looking and playing, building and drawing, telling stories to each other and to themselves, and to anyone else who happens to be within earshot. And through their stories, lives are changed, discoveries made, and the world is transformed.
It's a story about possibilities and wonder, and we invite you to share it with us…
