Sota les onades

Beneath the Waves

Xavier Salomó
Meritxell Martí

"A picture book filled with rhythm and few words that captivates readers and leads them to an open ending that offers various interpretative games."

Meritxell Martí and Xavier Salomó form a creative duo that is constantly putting out original, imaginative books that delight readers around the world. And with Sota les onades, they once again surprise and enchant. During an apparently simple encounter between two children in the water at the beach one summer day, readers will discover layers of meaning, with unexpected nuances and fantastic elements. Expressive panoramic illustrations of rhythmic, almost wordless scenes immerse readers in unexplored depths and reveal many possible stories in one.
