Dreaming of Rome by Larissa N. çlvarez Perris is a book that was born from an original idea during a challenging time for all of us, when we were all stuck at home due to the pandemic. The book reflects the true spirit of children, who can find something positive in all circumstances. Through the eyes of Greta, a dreamy girl Òof a thousand colorsÓ and her adventure companion, Valerio Nero the cat, readers are transported to ÒtheirÓ Rome, a place that for some time they have only been able to see from a distance.
