Cricket chips, dragonfly slippers and glitter bracelets – the supermarket is full of the very best things and little bat Pascaline wants to have absolutely everything. But her mother says No and will not budge. Begging and crying are no use. But, oh dear! Through her constant begging and drooling, Pascaline becomes all soft and slimy – like a slug. What bad luck that slugs are on the menu of a crested tit close by. Thus, the adventurous day of Pascaline begins.

In her new book, picture book creator Beatrice Alemagna lovingly and artfully dives into the emotional world of children. Along the way, she shows us how useful a change of perspective can be to realize which things are truly important.
