Having as starting point the readings that Kim boy does of Miguel de Cervantes classic The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha, the text provokes the reader: “In how many ways can one love a story?” Kim could not understand why his grandfather had given him the book claiming the adventures of that dizzy elderly man to be unmissable. He tried to get rid of the object, but only later realized other meanings for “unmissable”. From the perspective of the character Reading dynamics, the large frames of the illustrator capture the text mood when highlighting the book-reader relationship.
