Gélatine, a mischievous little girl, wants her older brother, Roberto, to spend time with her. But Roberto is very busy. He is writing a novel on his computer, a story for grown-ups by a grown-up, indeed Roberto is no longer a child… He has no time to take care of his invasive little sisters. But Gélatine is persistent, so much so that Roberto agrees to read her one story, but only one ! Then he goes back to his grown-up work.
Upset, Gélatine has her revenge by imagining with Doudou, her plush toy, a story where she transforms Roberto into an ugly toad…
First of a series, Roberto and Gélatine is a light and funny story about the relationship between siblings in which all children (and parents) will recognize themselves. What a delight to see the couple “Albertine and Germano” still work its magic. A true complicity in life as in work that you can feel in the link between text and illustration, in the shared humor, in the playfulness and in the good spirit of the text.
