Mario Bellini

The Boy and the Mountain is written by Mario Bellini and Marianna Coppo, two avid hikers residing in Italy. As a hiker myself, this book immediately caught my attention. The story follows a boy who tries to draw his beloved window-view mountain, but finds that something is always missing. He goes on an adventure to try to capture it's beauty, meeting multiple friends along the way.

This book will make you smile the entire time reading it to and with your children. The artwork is adorable, making me want my kid's room's walls covered with it. The authors did a wonderful job of crafting a sweet story that is appropriate for it's age group of 3 - 7 years old. It will definitely spark an interest in exploring and drawing nature, making it a book that I would like to use as a reading field trip for my toddler once it is available to purchase.… (altro)
