Paperin Paperetti was born as a bedtime story the author told for years to her little brother and that in a second time was developed into a project incorporating some important psychoeducational purposes. One of the most significant functions of telling a story is to underline the importance of the emotional relationship with the child who, at the time of sleep, will develop a sense and a perception of security from the person who takes care of him. Following this relationship, then it follows an increasing pleasure in reading and a better understanding of text, things at the base of learning how to read and write. Another fundamental aspect interconnected to the concept of understanding, is to stimulate in the child a more "elaborated" theory of mind: the awareness that different people can perceive reality differently. With Paperin Paperetti, through a tale illustrated by beautiful drawings, we try and optimize at an educational level the sensitivity towards each other and themselves. All the people going by Dr. Paperetti have a problem they cannot solve alone or cannot explain either at a causal or consequential level. Issues are addressed in a hilarious way and cover a wide range of topics: from the body care such as in this first story the solving of the problem of smelly feet, to how you can overcome anxiety and fear. Well, to every problem there may be a solution or a new and creative interpretation of every situation. You all will see by the time that Paperin Paperetti will help you too. Enjoy the reading and have a nice sleep.
