Il treno (الْقِطَار)

This is a poetic and visually arresting journey that captures the magic and nostalgia of travel. Through a series of whimsical and surreal illustrations, the story follows a train as it moves through various landscapes, meeting different people and creatures along the way. The narrative is less about a linear plot and more about the experience of the journey, reflecting on the connections made and the scenery that shifts outside the window.

In this bilingual edition, the text serves as a rhythmic companion to the artwork. The use of Italian alongside Arabic allows children to explore the musicality of both languages. The book is celebrated for its ability to turn a simple train ride into a dreamlike exploration of memory, heritage, and the shared human experience of moving from one place to another.
