Sprich mit mir – Wenn die Lasten leichter werden durch die Kraft der Freundschaft!
Ein kleiner Stein kann zu einer untragbaren Last werden... wenn du ihn nicht mit jemandem teilst, den du liebst und dem du vertraust.
Anna war immer ein lachendes und lebensfrohes Mädchen. Eines Tages findet sie einen kleinen, scheinbar harmlosen Stein auf der Straße und beschließt, ihn mitzunehmen. Doch mit der Zeit beginnt dieser Stein immer schwerer zu werden, wie ein untragbarer Fels, der sie ermüdet und ihr die Freude raubt. Anna weiß nicht, wie sie über das sprechen soll, was sie belastet, bis ein wunderbarer neuer Freund in ihr Leben tritt, der ihr hilft, die Kraft des "Sprich mit mir" zu verstehen. Eine zarte und tief menschliche Geschichte über die Bedeutung, unsere Gefühle, Ängste und Lasten zu teilen.

Suitable for:
Children who may have difficulty expressing their emotions or talking about what troubles them and "weighs" them down internally. It is an excellent book to help children understand that they are not alone with their worries and that talking and sharing what they feel can really help. It is also aimed at parents and educators who want to encourage open communication and healthy emotional expression in children.
Why This Book Is Special:
- With a beautiful and very apt metaphor (the pebble that weighs down), it speaks in a simple, symbolic, and understandable way about the internal burdens that children may feel (such as anxiety, sadness, fear, loneliness).
- Marina Gioti, as an author and illustrator, creates a story full of sensitivity and images that touch the soul and uniquely capture the emotional world of children.
- It shows the therapeutic power of true friendship and meaningful communication.
- It encourages children to talk about what concerns them, not to keep their feelings hidden, and to seek support.
- It is a book that promotes mental empowerment, understanding of our internal worlds, and the importance of being there for one another.
Book with a hardcover and 40 pages, featuring the tender and distinctive illustrations of Marina Gioti, which uniquely capture the atmosphere and deep meanings of the story.
Suggestions for Use by Parents or Educators:
- Ideal tool to start a discussion about the emotions that sometimes "weigh down" children and how they can manage them.
- Helps children understand that it's okay to ask for help or simply share their thoughts and concerns with someone they trust.
- Can be used to encourage children to find "safe" friends or adults (parents, teachers) with whom they can speak openly.
Inspired by the book, you can:
- Discuss: What was Ann's "pebble" in reality? Why did it become heavier the more she kept it to herself? How did her new friend help her? What does "talk to me" mean to you?
- Ask the child: Have you ever felt like you're carrying a "pebble" that weighs you down? Who could you talk to about it? What makes you feel better when you're sad, scared, or anxious?
- Create: Draw how you imagine the "pebbles" of emotions (e.g., a pebble for fear, one for sadness, one for anxiety). You can make a "worry box" or an "emotion diary" where children can write or draw what weighs them down and then, if they want, share and discuss them.
