Opis

Two dandelions break through ground in neighbouring gardens. But, while young Ms Muse praises the amazing efforts of her flower, Mr Moor gets out the weed killer... In this delightful rhyming picture book Anette Prehn playfully helps children reflect upon their own perspective. This is a core life skill that, according to psychologists, "should be in the water we drink." Reviews of The Asphaltic Peekaboo: "This timeless insight is a precious gift for children and adults alike. It reminds us that we can shape our emotional lives by paying attention to how we think about ourselves, others, and the world around us." Dr. James Gross, Professor of Psychology, Stanford University, US "Reframing is one of the most powerful tools to prevent us from getting dragged down and stuck by the stresses and hassles of everyday life. This little gem is a delightful, clever, and fun way to introduce children (and their parents ) to the art of reframing and helps start life-long, healthy brain habits. One can only hope for a whole collection of these reframing poems." Dr. Karen Shue, Clinical Neuropsychologist and Neurocoach, Canada "This delightfully simple book is a wonderful way to help children learn about the different ways of seeing the world. It will be a great conversation starter in families and schools." David Drake, PhD, Executive Director, Center for Narrative Coaching, Australia "It was Picasso who said it took him sixty years to see through the eyes of a child. Our childhood, so rich in a natural sense of ambiguity, is rapidly replaced by an assumption-filled adulthood intent upon getting to the single, right answer. The Asphaltic Peekaboo reminds us and our children of the importance of being open-minded about how we look at things, and that for every weed, there is indeed a miracle of nature."
