Three animals of the woods, great friends. A day all white with snow. A party for the Winter Solstice.
This cheerful story takes i by the hand children and with simplicity accompanies them to explore listening to their emotions and sensations, in mind and body, paying gentle attention to them.
The magical atmosphere of the story stimulates the imagination and brings children closer to the awareness of the arrival of a new season: an important step in the cycle of Nature and the planet we inhabit.
The book opens to a series of projects featuring the animals of La Stanza nel Bosco: soft cushions created and handmade by the designer Stefania Conci and which have become the protagonists of Giovanna Fungi's stories.
Giovanna is a psychotherapist and teacher of mindfulness , works with schools, children and families and with these little books it offers a gradual approach to experiences in the field of emotional education and mindfulness practices for the developmental age, exploring the senses and emotions.
' A pot of snow ' is the first encounter with this world; occasionally, the book simply speaks to readers by asking them about their own experiences and feelings. Hedgehog shows the children how he learned to soften his quills after a scare, an experience to relate to; inside the den the warmth welcomes emotions of wonder, curiosity, affection, peace, joy and even a shred of excitement, up to the final surprise.
There is an encounter with the great silence of winter which begins.
There is the joy of friendship .
There are the sensations to explore.
The illustrations, edited by both authors, are handmade collages with colored paper and different materials, just like their meeting is a collage: a harmonious understanding dedicated to bringing children to be fully present in their real world, that of friendship and nature, with a pinch of imagination and the invitation to always remain open to wonder , even when they grow up.
A new story to read and re-read, which will accompany children from an early age - where they can listen to the story read by those who love them - when they are older and know how to read it by themselves.
A new world to imagine stories and games, and to immerse yourself in the magical atmosphere of Forest .
