Luca and the Racing Town

The town is no longer quiet. It is alive with music, color, laughter, and possibility. And Luca loves it. He runs from song to song, from canvas to canvas, determined not to miss a single moment of the joy everyone fought so hard to find. But somewhere between the music and the movement, Luca begins to feel something he doesn’t understand. When did being alive start to feel like a race? In this beautifully illustrated sequel to Luca and the Quiet Town, young readers follow Luca as he learns that joy does not need to be chased — and that belonging does not require rushing ahead of yourself. Tender, thoughtful, and deeply relevant for today’s fast-moving world, Luca and the Racing Town is a story about rhythm, balance, and the courage to remain yourself in the middle of it all. Perfect for children — and the grown-ups learning alongside them — this is a gentle reminder that you don’t have to run to stay included. Sometimes, the bravest thing you can do is slow down and still stand in the square.
