TODAY I FEEL GOOD BUT A LITTLE SAD TOO - Learning the language of emotions

What makes a child happy or sad?

Losing a beloved person, arguing with a friend, playing with mummy, running with the dog, winning a race: these are just some examples that take shape and color in the drawings of the little artists involved in the project. The idea comes from a psychology research which involved more than 4,000 children and has become a beautiful story thanks to the skill of Emanuela Nava, a well-established and respected children’s author. The result is an amazing book illustrated by children and aimed at children, designed to help them to reflect on what makes them feel good and what makes them unhappy. The book is also conceived to help adults to talk to children about universal feelings like happiness and sadness.

THIS BOOK IS MEANT TO BE READ TOGETHER: CHILDREN AND PARENTS!
