Un saluto a tutti!
The book "Mucka Pika", whose Italian translation has yet to be scheduled, is intended for all children, their parents, grandparents, their teachers and all animal lovers.
The story is based on a true story whose protagonist is the cat Pika, who with her magnetic charm conquers the little girl Vera, her family and her friends.
Pika and Vera instantly form an indissoluble bond that overcomes every obstacle. In fact, in the world of the heart there are no limits, one is accompanied by courage, joy, love and inner happiness.
This is what embellishes and adorns every single moment of our lives and those of our beloved pets.
The book was released in 2020, published by the Mohorjva Družba publishing house in Gorizia. The authors are Vera's mom and her kitten!
The illustrations in the book are by Eleonora Sluga, who knows both Pika and Vera very well, in fact she is their cousin, now eleven years old.
In chapter six (Pika in Sv. Miklavž) there are also the text and the melody that Vera has dedicated to her Pika kitten.
Unfortunately the recording of the event, Miklavževanje, which is mentioned in the book, has been lost. We have therefore recorded an adaptation that you can listen to, through the audio player on this page.
Eleonora sings and plays the violin, while the accompaniment with the harp was created on a computer. Eleonora's dad, Aleksander Sluga, oversaw the musical adaptation as well as the technical aspect of the project.
