PEDRO VIRA PORCO-ESPINHO

How about discussing with children where emotions come from? What does anger feed on? Why are we calm and then – boom – we’re not? Author Janaina Tokitaka tells the story of Pedro, an ordinary boy who lives his childhood routine. However, when one of these things doesn't happen as he expects, Pedro becomes a hedgehog. With a subtle and fun metaphor about the transformations in mood and the sensations we experience in life – which many parents may call “tantrums” or “manipulations”, the book invites the young reader to reflect on the origin of feelings.
