The story

Gaia is a little aviator with a secret dream: to visit her best friend, the Little Prince, on asteroid B612. One day she decides to build a plane, pack a backpack with everything she needs and leave for an exciting journey. Alas, her plane suddenly breaks down, loses altitude and crashes. It is at this moment, on the seabed, that a new adventure begins for Gaia: a journey into emotions.

For who?

The book is a help for parents, educators, pedagogists and clinicians so that the importance of emotions and knowing how to accept them can be spread in educational contexts, because they are part of the personal baggage of every child. The manifestation of emotions by little ones is therefore not to be denied or reproached, but to be welcomed and guided to let them learn to recognize and express them.
