Books & Publications

Sandro’s Books is his own small publishing house: illustrated stories, poems and essays, many of them printed in boxes or on cardboard, in up to six languages. Thirty titles in six groups.

Books as Objects 6

Books that are things as much as stories: three picture books packed in boxes with an object from the tale, a gift book that records instead of containing, a dream kept in a box that becomes a book, and a child’s camera with a tiny friend inside.

Love Stories 5

Five stories about love: a promise kept with imagination, two people connected without meeting, a nervous cupid’s misaimed arrows, and a cockroach poet in love with a much larger woman.

Things That Remember 7

Objects, museums and the memories they keep: a telescope that shifts its viewpoint, a museum of antique things, a mended heart, a gallery of objects with character, and seven strange people each defined by one thing.

Angels, Insects and Other Creatures 5

Angels who listen to human sighs and visit the earth, a paleontologist’s insects with a chronicle of their own, an entomologist’s poems about cockroaches, and a piglet who learns to fly.

Sandro in His Own Books 3

Books in which Sandro is a character — a miniature thriller about his finger and a microbe, a detective story about a missing cup — and a story told in three photographs from one life.

Essays, Poetry and New Work 4

Collage poems of words, letters, photographs and drawings, a philosophical essay for creators in the digital age, a bilingual gallery of portraits and twenty-three Advent readings.
