The strange case of Uncle Jim

Uncle Jim went to visit his nephew Nino. Back to his family, some strange things begin to happen to the Lighties' lights of his village. Uncle Jim with an Owl's help will find out what's happening. This illustrated fairy tale is a sequel of "The Lighties and the mystery of their lights" written during the first lockdown period. The author realized that the circumstances she wanted to describe through the fairy tale were much more complex than how she had described them in the first adventure on the planet Nighty. She wanted to write and illustrate this second fairy tale to try to talk about the increasingly complex situations that we have all faced. It is still partial, but she hopes to give the listener or reader the opportunity to echo the time in which we are living, and to better understand the dynamics of the facts that surround us. She wants to give children more opportunities to see this pandemic with other eyes and be able to ask questions or talk about the doubts and worries they have with their caregivers. In the appendix, there are some games, born from the passion for drawing the author. Two of these games aim to encourage readers to consider how we read emotions on people's faces around us, now covered with masks. The other two are games to stimulate attention and visual search.
