“The boy felt a surge of joy as, for the first time, an answer emerged from within him: Love means connecting with others and being by their side—in sorrow, in dreams, and in joy…”
On Saturday 14 November 2026, from 19:00 to 20:00 Athens time, Voice of Greece’s “Narratives — Stories and Fairy Tales for Children and the Young at Heart” presents “The Boy Who Kept Asking What Love Is,” an allegorical tale by psychologist Kelly Malamatou, illustrated by Dimitra Ntroulia and published by Gema.
“An orphaned boy in a country going through difficult times sets out on a spiritual journey. He turns to the world around him, especially to nature, in search of what love is. What might the sea tell him about love? What would the moon, a star, a tree, the wind, or the rain say? And what about a seashell, a stone, or a chameleon? Is everything we think of as love really love? Can someone who has experienced its absence or loss find it in their life? Where will the boy’s journey lead? A poetic fairy tale exploring the meaning and experience of love. A book for children and the young at heart.” (From the book’s back cover.)
