About us
"Dear Children and YoungstersI have been asked to write a few thoughts to introduce this book so I wish to start by thanking the editor and you, great readers. This is not just a formal thank you; let me explain why. You should know that my life as Mayor is very busy, I never have any free time, I rush madly from one meeting to the next, I must study many difficult things, meet many people and I have to read many books, some of them boring, in order to present them. Well this time, thanks to Babalibri and to you, I really enjoyed myself…"
The Mayor of Milan,
Giuliano Pisapia
