Synopsis "Pepileni"

Some children need a map they can read when life leads them somewhere adults struggle to explain.Solomon J. is a curious boy with a head full of questions. His mother, Madre, is raising him on her own and has reached a painful, loving certainty: 'I am my son's village.'Yet one question lies hidden beneath all the others: If I find Dad, (who got lost playing hide-and-seek), will he stay?One rainy day, beside a puddle shimmering like a doorway to another world, a mysterious Pepileno appears beneath a tree. He has come for Solomon J.Soon Solomon J. is travelling through Pepilandia, guided by the Pepileni and drawn ever closer to a familiar Giant. Hanging gardens, invisible threads, strange creatures, memories and enchanted landscapes give shape to emotions that children often feel long before they can name them.Here, absence becomes a journey. Addiction becomes ice. Love becomes something that can guide, protect and reconnect.Pepileni: The Story That Gives Back is a symbolic fairy tale for children, and for the adults who wish to understand them more deeply. It enters a childhood world that is too often hurried, misread, and gives that world space, dignity and a language of its own.The tale is followed by an illustrated Imaginary and a guide for parents and educators reveal the deeper architecture of the story. These include the Theory of the Sunchild and the Takaró, an original image of the wholeness and worth that every child carries from the very beginning of life.A story about getting lost, being seen and finding one's place, and about discovering that the way forward sometimes begins with finding the way back.For young readers and grown-ups.
