Abstract
Abstract: Building on the inspirational “monthly stories” in Edmondo De Amicis’s Cuore , Francesco D’Adamo’s novels present rich resources for youth navigating through the increasingly dehumanized world. His eighteen children’s books narrate compelling and imaginative stories of heroism while avoiding the paternalistic didacticism for which De Amicis and his imitators are often critiqued. D’Adamo won the Premio Andersen Best Writer Award for children’s literature in 2023.
