"The town of Allora was famous for two things. The first was the flying fish, and the second was the beautiful winding streets. Tourists flocked here from all over the country to watch the fish fly out of the sea, while artists came to paint the brightly colored houses that rose like stairs to the Allora hill. There were so many shades of color that the artists didn't even have enough paint to capture them faithfully..."
Alberto lived with his wife and children on a hill and had the whole city in the palm of his hand. Alberto was the best carpenter in town. During the day he made furniture for people, at night he carved wooden toys for his children. However, when disease came to Allora, sad times came for the city. Alberto no longer made furniture, but coffins so that the locals would have something to bury the dead in. The disease also took Albert's wife and all their children. Unhappy Alberto looked forward to the day when the disease would come for him too. But the disease left the city, so Alberto continued to live his lonely life until a special visitor came to him. A mysterious boy named Tito and his magical bird flee from danger and seek refuge with an old carpenter. These carpenters end up liking each other and a strong bond develops between them. Both will help each other overcome the past and face the challenges that await them.
This is a story of life and death and how hope can shine a light in a place drowning in sadness. If you believe in miracles, they will find you!
The book is intended for all - big, bigger and the biggest - readers who like mysterious stories, a pinch of suspense, a sprinkling of magic and a huge arm of courage and friendship.
