Gisku – Joseph Ferriggi The fi rst time that Gisku stepped into the farmyard, he was very shy and fearful of what awaited him. He was at a loss and he had no idea what was happening around him. Fortunately, there was Brozi who helped him fi nd his way. In her, he found his second mother and his fi rst teacher. She guided him, step-by-step throughout his new life experiences. Who were his new friends? How were they going to treat him? His deepest wish was that they would accept him as he was, but not everyone was ready to do so. However, Gisku still looked at his new friends the same way he did towards life - with a smile - despite the turmoil he was going through. A book for the young readers, and also for the young at heart. If Cats Disappeared from the World – Genki Kawamura Our narrator's days are numbered.
