L'alfabeto dei sentimenti is a special ABC book: each letter is associated with a feeling, each feeling is told by a ryhme and evocative illustrations.

Janna Cairoli and Sonia Possentini have been able to do it gracefully with twenty-one letters that explore love and anger, curiosity and pain, loneliness and freedom. Rhymes perfectly calibrate words, sounds and rhythm to help the reading while preserving the nuances of feelings. Those same shades can be found in the illustrations that, through the intensity of expressions and gestures, the careful choice of colors, lights and shadows, makes palpable what the words tell
