Emma and Daniel are twins, but they seem to have little in common. While Emma is practical and never late for school, Daniel is always daydreaming. Their parents' separation only makes their differences more obvious. Daniel never leaves the house without putting on his coat with magic pockets and shoes that protect him from tripping and falling. What's more, he begins each day by greeting his beloved alarm clock. Until the morning when his beloved friend refuses to answer him. Is he broken or angry? Against all odds, it's Emma who leads them to embark on a magical quest to find a repair shop. Because everything broken, even hearts, can be repaired, right?
Mirna Fabri is a teacher and a young grandmother. Having grown up in a time when playing was almost forbidden for girls, she relies on her grandchildren to revive her own childhood. This book is her gift to them, in the hope that they will keep their smiles and know how to make friends everywhere.
Tone draws on the Franco-Belgian bande dessinée style of illustration to bring memorable characters and stories to life. He finds inspiration in the everyday moments he shares with his partner and their animals, who often find their way into his work.
Through his illustrations, Tone aims to create images that connect with children and adults alike, blending emotion and imagination with real-life scenarios.
