A book designed to support children in developing their graphic skills, starting from simple marks and progressing towards the creation of more complex drawings.

Guided by the story of Michelino — a child who at first feels unable to draw — children embark on a journey made up of small steps, where every mark, even the simplest, has value. Through a motivating narrative and progressively structured practical activities, the book offers exercises on:

  • faces and portraits
  • body schema
  • geometric shapes
  • landscapes
  • early pre-writing skills (curves, pathways and routes)

The programme begins with psychomotor activities aimed at strengthening body awareness and understanding of graphic space. With clear language and engaging illustrations, the book is intended for nursery school teachers, educators and parents, providing a useful tool to foster the harmonious development of graphic skills and to carefully prepare children for the start of handwriting.
