A poignant story about how childrens play and creativity help children overcome the hardship of moving and changing country and heal one's soul.Danny, Molly and Marcus are three sparkling creative siblings, although each one expresses himself differently. Danny likes music and by singing and playing the guitar he can give voice to his feelings. Mercedes would always be found with a brush in hand, drawing out her emotions. What about Marcus? You see, Marcus is a great writerhe writes down all his thoughts and he can explore his deepest sorrows.One thing that the three very special siblings love is playing together and inventing a thousand different games, but there is something that worries them soon they will move to a new, safer house in another country. Seeing their parents so sad and watching their house being reduced to boxes breaks their soul. However, they will discover that if they stick together, they will always have a loving home.

The award winning illustrator Blanca Millan was born in a small town in Galicia, Spain. Since she was little she was attracted to the art world, filling the walls of the house with small drawings with waxes. At the age of eight she changed the colored pencils for the brush and when the time came, she studied Fine Arts at the School of Pontevedra. With the arrival of her son, she began to enter the world of children's stories, illustrating small stories, and presenting herself to various contests where she obtained very good results.
