The symbol of the book
The Takaró is the new symbol of the fairy tale Solomon J. in the village of the Pepileni, and its most important innovation. It holds the memory of the greatness with which every being comes into the world, and in the story takes the form of a blanket full of shining sparks. In everyday life its message stays simple: greatness dwells within every child from the very first instant, as a natural inheritance and a living part of who they are. It is a point of origin, even before it is a destination, and everyone can recognise it and carry it within.
Every child has a Takaró. It is the gift they receive at birth, an invisible weave made of bonds, sensitivity, talents, desires and possibilities. Inside the Takaró is the cloth of the Universe that wraps every child before they are born, a map to find themselves again when the map grows confused.
Two forms
The Takaró represents what we inherit, but also what we choose to keep, enrich and become. That is why, when the Pepileno Cucù returns it to Solomon J. and tells him, «You will have to take care of your Takaró», the symbol completes its transformation, turning from an inherited legacy into an individual responsibility.
The Takaró offers the child the chance to become able and responsible in their own story.
Different roads can start from the same origin. Even when two people are bound by something great, they may travel very different paths. Love takes shape precisely in the ability to recognise that each follows their own way.
Solomon J.'s father stays immersed in his own world, while the boy recognises that his road is another. Will he choose to flower? Will he learn to keep and protect what is beautiful in him? How will he come back whole after feeling wounded? The Takaró reminds him that greatness is the origin, and that his task is to let it grow.
