Once Upon a Time there was a Word-Eating Boy

One day I ate the word JOY.
And it was a lot of fun.
That day I was very happy
and I couldn’t stop laughing!

What would happen if one day a child ate the word joy? And the word fear? And what if he or she decided not to eat any of them?
This is the starting point of this original album book that aims to be a tool for learning to express the different emotions we feel. A book to help little readers to specify, concretise and be able to define their feelings and thus, by acquiring emotional language, be able to transmit and understand what is going on inside them. A very funny book that will accompany us on a beautiful, intense and emotional journey into our inner selves.
