'El Petit Cuidador D'insectes', by Natasia Rugani and illustrated by Charline Collette.
What happens if the insects get a broken wing or leg? They need an insect handler to help them and when the handler needs to retire who is going to take over his responsibilities? Maybe his son Noc, but Noc is afraid of insects and his lack of confidence affects his healing powers and so it is his sister, Lulu who continues the family tradition.
This book subtly addresses the fears of not meeting the expectations of our elders and the need to accept and make our own choices. Charline Collette's illustrations are full of wonderful details and humour.
