Det er et sted fuld af ord og idéer, hvor piger og drenge af alle slags kan dele tanker, blyanter, frugt og nogle gange kram. Et sted hvor man lærer at folde fantasien ud, at lære af sine fejl, at blive en del af verden og at passe på den.Luca Tortolini og Marco Somà skriver og tegner et detaljerigt, taknemmeligt og passioneret portræt af, hvad en skole er. Blandt andet med den fine pointe, som selv skoletrætte børn opdagede under Covid-19 nedlukningerne; fandtes skolen ikke, måtte vi opfinde den!En betagende bog til den, der skal til at begynde i skole; den der har behov for at se skolen på en anden måde; den der arbejder i skolen; og alle voksne der ikke må glemme, hvad skolen betød for os.

The manuscript of God's "Good Morning" is just what the subtitle claims. It is a retelling of my spiritual journey raising an autistic son who is now fifty-four years old. Our son lives at home with his parents and will do so until my husband Greg and I become incapable of parenting him due to old age or our passing at which time, our son will live with his sister. Thus, this relationship is a lifelong commitment. This manuscript is a story of the growth of faith, hope, and love. My intention of writing such a manuscript is that of my desire to share with other parents of a special needs child my experiences dealing with this daunting challenge. This is not a clinical manuscript, but rather a manuscript of personal growth from shock, despair, and discouragement to acceptance, peace, and joy and reveals the miraculous healing of my broken spirit. Although this manuscript is written for parents of special needs children, it would also be found inspiring by a general audience of readers.

"Your child is really sensitive!" - Yes, and? What's wrong with that? Maybe your child even belongs to the group of highly sensitive people. Unfortunately, however, "being sensitive" is often pronounced with a negative undertone. You may have noticed that your child perceives certain stimuli, no matter on what level, particularly intensively or even more readily than you do. It could also be that your child withdraws more often, wants to be to himself or herself, or screams and rages loudly from one second to the next. But does that make your child a "highly sensitive child"? And if so, how can you deal with it and accompany and support it in its special emotional life? Do you raise a highly sensitive child differently? Questions regarding the daycare center routine or the school experience for highly sensitive children are also answered in this book. In addition, you will become part of a process that begins with yourself and is intended to bring you closer to your child.
