Piano piano, lento lento

Editotial news

A musical walk in rhyme to do playfully with children, with slowness and without distractions, with speed and breathlessness.

Plot: a child follows the flight of a showerhead in the sky, while a little girl carefully follows the terrestrial path of an ant; another child undertakes to collect the moon segment reflected in a puddle. Going “piano piano, lento lento” (slowly, slowly slow) allows them and also us to get out of the logic of doing to enter the dimension of feeling and savoring, deep down, every moment.

Topic

  • The rhyming story unfolds like a cheerful walk to the rhythm of words.
  • The choruses that are repeated, with small variations, after each verse entice you to read aloud and even to sing the text or to dramatize it, alone or in company. All this is a stimulus to empathy and collaboration.
  • The message: our day is more beautiful if we know how to see (and we stop to look) what surrounds us. This knowing how to see, this attention increases not only the awareness of what is around us, but also that of our body, our emotions and our thoughts.
