The Little Yellow Bird
by Alessandra Marconato
Description
“The bird in the cage, does not sing for love but for rage.”
A room, a window, a yellow bird in a cage.
A woman and two books.
Alessandra Marconato’s novel invites us to open the cages around and inside us, in order to conquer authentic freedom. The freedom of critical and conscious thinking, of clear eyes looking upon the world and people.
The freedom acquired through an intimate knowledge of ourselves.
Alessandra Marconato’s fluent and evocative narrative leads us outside the cage we build around ourselves.
A fairy tale following the success of the publication of her novel "La foresta delle Illusioni": an intimate path of growth and reason to not stop dreaming, to keep growing inwardly and socially.
The novel is pleasant and consuming reading, and suggests some avenues to be explored.
Her direct style – simple but engaging – captivates not only an adult audience, but also preteens and teenagers.
The novel is, in fact, a motivational path and an opportunity for personal growth, which encourages young people to develop and use critically linguistic/communicative and interpersonal tools to interact constructively.

Reviews
"This tale is a gift for everybody, a metaphore about the cages in our life. They could not depend on us but sometimes they are part of our mentality and inner life. We bind ourselves and bind others, as the author writes "We are in a cage, but we are cages ourselves". So, when it's up to us, when the little door is open, are we able to recognize it? Are we really ready to fly when the moment comes?" - Liberi nei libri
"In the game between inside and out, there is a macrocosm, which is also a microcosm, a part of the reality, looking towards somewhere else, towards a larger universe, an infinite universe that we aren't able to catch... Because, 'the images that we build to represent the world, the reality and others are static pictures of dynamic and changing moments'." - Gruppo di Ricerca sulle Biblioteche Scolastiche - Università degli Studi di Padova
