It is better to think before you speak





Two friends, a duck and a turtle, have a terrible experience.

With global warming many ponds dry up and die.

It happened with the pond where the turtle lived.

The duck friend then devises a crazy plan to save his turtle friend.

A fun adventure to teach that we must control emotions more: it is much better to think before you speak.

All of them present simple and inspiring stories designed to enable communion between parents and children.

In a playful way, each book presents a narrative where fun teachings stand out. They are lessons based on the philosophy that interacts meditation and conduct. But not any mental contemplation and any action, but meditation and conduct that are anchored in critical reflection.

How to deal with problems, from the simplest and most ordinary - which emerge from day to day - to the most serious and complex? More than that, how to process them without losing sight of creativity and rationality, putting principles and values on the same scale, self-esteem and collectivity, respect for differences and tolerance, fraternity and solidarity.

The need to keep emotions in a state of equilibrium, the stimulus to curiosity and investigation, the impetus to successive questions, the importance of giving relevance to informal education as well, the development of skills that make it possible to deconstruct thinking in order to reconstruct it in new ways bases, are some of the inputs explored in the books of the Collection.

How to think better? Wouldn't happiness be in the little things that are tangled up in everyday life? And as for justice, democratic principles and ethical values, are they not the pillars that support the virtuous man? These are questions that the author developed and that structure the scenarios present in the stories, a privileged space where parents and children - through readings and discussions - will learn from each other.
