Il cuoco delle emozioni

The Emotions Chef

A creative and original picture book supporting SEL (Social-Emotional Learning) goals with playful, metaphorical language.

Every day, the Emotions Chef serves very special dishes. He cooks just a single special meal dedicated to one of the many emotions we can feel. The customers who taste them immediately feel happy, relaxed, even bettered. What is his secret? Every morning he goes out for a walk and gets an… emotions binge! He observes everything and everyone with empathy and attention, he laughs, he cries, he has fun and gets angry. At the end, he collects all emotions, brings them to the restaurant and dresses the course with his tears. This is the secret: many kinds of tears, and fresh tears of the day! Because you can cry for many reasons, and each tear has its own relevance and its own special flavour…

• A picture book to promote Social-Emotional Learning: all emotions are important and deserve to be experienced
• A fun read, thanks to the “recipes” with several different emotions, encouraging children to name and explore their own feelings
• Massimiliano Di Lauro’s striking and vivid illustrations for this book were selected for Bologna Children’s Book Fair Illustrators Exhibition.

情绪厨师

这是一本极具创意与巧思的绘本，通过趣味化的隐喻语言推广社会情感学习。

情绪厨师每天都会端出特别的菜肴，他每日只烹制一道菜，对应着我们可能经历的某种情绪。品尝者会立刻感到快乐、放松，甚至感到焕然一新。他的秘诀是什么？

每天早晨，厨师都会外出散步……然后对各种情绪大快朵颐！他用同情心和专注力观察周遭的一切，无论是笑容和喜悦，还是悲伤或愤怒。最后，他会把所有情绪带回餐厅，用眼泪为菜肴调味。

这就是情绪厨师的秘诀——各种眼泪，而且是当天新鲜的眼泪！哭泣的原因有很多，每滴眼泪都有它的意义，以及它独特的味道。
