A song for every emotion
Book summary
This picture book invites little ones to explore the world of emotions through music. Featuring ten original songs—one for each basic emotion such as anger, sadness, or joy—the book offers a playful and educational tool for children to identify and understand their feelings. Accompanied by Inspector Drilo and the Emotion-o-meter, readers will discover how music can help manage emotions when they overwhelm us, turning reading into an interactive and enriching experience.
What is it about?
The book proposes an emotional journey where every feeling has its own song. Throughout the pages, children will find a melody for anger, another for sadness, joy, jealousy, envy, fear, surprise, love, disgust, and shame. Each song is designed to help little ones better understand the emotion they are feeling at that moment. In addition, the well-known character Inspector Drilo and the Emotion-o-meter, a visual tool to measure emotions, appear in their own songs, reinforcing learning and the identification of moods in an enjoyable and participatory way.
