Description
MY FIRST EMOTIONOMETER
Book summary
An interactive book that invites little ones to explore and understand their emotions in a playful and visual way. Accompanied by Inspector Dril and his helpers, the "emis," children will learn to identify feelings like joy, sadness, or anger thanks to the emotionometer, an invention that allows them to measure the intensity of what they are feeling. A perfect tool to begin the journey of emotional intelligence from early childhood.
What is it about?
Inspector Dril and the friendly emis guide readers on a journey of emotional self-discovery. Through an interactive mechanism—a spinning wheel—the child can point to the emotion they are experiencing at that moment and indicate whether they feel it "a little" or "a lot." In this way, the book becomes a practical resource for naming what is being experienced, validating emotions, and learning to express them. Each page offers an opportunity for dialogue between the child and the adult, fostering affective communication and understanding of the inner world.

Who is it recommended for?
