Clopoțelul fermecat

Klap is a young bell whose home is magical Klingland. His job is to wake children and give them energy. Each resident has a hard task of their own. One keeps colours from mixing in the wrong way. Another brings joy and holds sadness at bay.

One day, a sly trickster draws Klap’s attention away. He finds himself hanging among bright ornaments on a Christmas tree. The other decorations treat him well, but he knows he belongs elsewhere. As time passes, his strength fades. He must get home soon or he will break apart. To escape this danger, he needs magic.

This fantasy tale for children explores belonging and trust in one's own strength. Ioana Nicolaie writes about sensitive characters who face hard tests. Klap’s story links that approach to a race to return home. This edition includes colour illustrations by Sidonia Calin.
