Guidebook for Little Stars
A practical guide to discovering what life is all about
Every child comes into the world carrying their own unique light. As they grow, they need to rediscover it: listening to the emotions that move through them, understanding what they feel and finding, little by little, the words to express it.
The Guidebook accompanies girls and boys on this journey, with gentleness and imagination, through the little and big moments of everyday life.
Knowing how emotions move within us helps us recognise them in others too. The words we choose and the attention we give to their needs then become a form of respect: a respect we learn to show and to ask for ourselves as well.
A book to read on your own or together, because being able to see our own light and that of others from an early age helps us grow with more awareness, kindness and serenity.
At first glance it may seem meant only for children, but it also speaks to grown-ups: it invites them to retrace their own story, rediscover the emotions that coloured it, and become more attentive to what their own child — or any child close to them — needs.
