Children's book for ages 0-3 "Che emozione, Bebo!" by Dalila Vigezzi

Project Description

Children’s book for ages 0-3 “Che emozione, Bebo!”

Reviews

“Dalila and Barbara have created a picture book for everyone, to help us learn not to fear our own emotions — whether we’re little or grown up. Because it’s often when we become adults that we stop accepting our emotional shifts, and supporting children through this process allows us to reconnect with that growth we left unfinished too soon.”

or the creation of this book, a wonderful collaboration immediately began with Dalila, who contacted me to create the illustrations and graphic design for her book. ❤️

As she requested, and as we agreed, the illustrations were designed in a style suitable for the tender age of the children (0–3 years) for whom the project is intended; the choice of a pastel and soft color palette was also agreed upon from the very beginning.

Bebo is a curious little bear who experiences many adventures, both outside and within himself. In this tender collection of everyday moments, Bebo encounters big, strong, and mysterious emotions: joy when he runs carefree and curious, sadness when things don’t go as he wishes, anger when he can’t succeed in what he attempts, and fear when something new and frightening intrudes into his daily life.

Each scene in the book provides an opportunity to recognize and name what is happening to Bebo. The role of parents is to be present, to welcome, validate, and offer support with simple and comforting words, guiding Bebo toward an increasingly aware and solid understanding of his emotions.

“A journey to discover the emotions that inhabit everyday life.”

I am very happy that Dalila later also found a path to publication through Masciulli Editore.
