The Flying Ears

Francisco dreams of knowing what is being said on the other side of the doors. He tries everything, even getting through keyholes, involving a lot of people and pain. Because he is so curious, his ears fly off, bringing all the sounds of the world into his head: speeches, business of kings and presidents, whistles, buzzing, thunder, laughter and television blares... An infernal noise that leads him to discover the tiny sounds that live close by and within you. The illustrations masterfully orchestrate sounds and silence and have, like the text, plural, tender and timeless meanings.
