This is a sweet story about the pursuit of happiness and the meaning of life. A brother and a sister, Căpșunici și Căpșunica, leave their home to search for ways to become colored and thus to make their parents happy.
Their journey is filled with adventures,
but also unhoped friendships. Căpșunica and Căpșunici learn about nature, the
importance of playing games and ... of freckles.
‘The Ballad of the Colorless Strawberries’ is
different from the classic children’s stories, that mainly focus on the
conflict between good and evil. Here, the focus is on discovery, on questions
and finding answers, on fulfilling dreams, and trying to make the loved ones
happy.
This is the perfect story to read when you're homesick and you feel misunderstood and are in need of finding your own color, as well.
‘....
And he was well aware of the fact that
adventures adorn the spirit, whether one is a cricket, a strawberry or even a
human being.
...’
And what type of person could disagree with the
above?!
