Spoons and Other Secrets: Curious Tales for Awake Minds

By Edwin Alverio

What do a spoon, a clock, or a sunflower hide?

This book gathers ten seemingly simple tales. They speak of everyday objects and curious animals. Yet, if you read closely, between the lines you will discover something more.
Spoons and Other Secrets is a collection for awake minds, those who dare to ask uncomfortable questions. A journey that explores, with tenderness and irony, the uneasy silences of real life: affection that disguises harassment, hypocrisy dressed as virtue, exclusion masked by pity, and the courage to say "no."
A book for children to spark their imagination, and for adults to remember the importance of reading between the lines.
Welcome to a world where nothing is what it seems.
Are you ready to uncover its secrets?

Note to the reader: Certain unusual choices of words and expressions are intentional.
