Description
Jigsaw Puzzle
Book Summary
A picture book that invites reflection on diversity and identity through an original visual game. Diego Bianki uses recycled materials to create a world of unique characters who, despite their differences, share a common space. A work that celebrates difference as a meeting point and encourages readers to build their own catalog of identities.
What is it about?
The book explores the idea that, even though there are billions of living beings, each one is a unique piece of an infinite puzzle. Through characters such as fleas, dogs, geese, or rabbits, the author shows that, despite appearances, we all share something fundamental: difference. The work is constructed from painted and fitted cardboard boxes, following the motto of recovering, recycling, and reusing. This artistic approach not only gives shape to the illustrations but also invites the reader to experiment and create new combinations, expanding the puzzle with their own imagination.
