Giacomo’s Glider is the first book in a series of literary picture books focused on creating a visual, educational, and literary story that explores a specific location and its local environs and culture. Our dream is to share the beauty of the world and its inhabitants. We also want to celebrate customs and traditions and foster and encourage acceptance, and we hope to promote conservation and protection for those species and environments that are threatened. In each book, Giacomo misplaces an item that interacts with the city where Giacomo is visiting. These items will be included with the books in the series.
