  Rudyard Kipling: The Jungle Book...

  Rudyard Kipling

  The Jungle Book (1894) is a collection of stories by the English author Rudyard Kipling. Most of the characters are animals such as Shere Khan the tiger and Baloo the bear, though a principal character is the boy or "man-cub" Mowgli, who is raised in the jungle by wolves. The stories are set in a forest in India; one place mentioned repeatedly is "Seeonee" (Seoni), in the central state of Madhya Pradesh. 
  A major theme in the book is abandonment followed by fostering, as in the life of Mowgli, echoing Kipling's own childhood. The theme is echoed in the triumph of protagonists including Rikki-Tikki-Tavi and The White Seal over their enemies, as well as Mowgli's. Another important theme is of law and freedom; the stories are not about animal behaviour, still less about the Darwinian struggle for survival, but about human archetypes in animal form. They teach respect for authority, obedience, and knowing one's place in society with "the law of the jungle", but the stories also illustrate the freedom to move between different worlds, such as when Mowgli moves between the jungle and the village. Critics have also noted the essential wildness and lawless energies in the stories, reflecting the irresponsible side of human nature.

  Abbiamo forse dimenticato che non esiste un solo modello di bellezza, ma che, al contrario, può assumere infinite forme diverse? Ci siamo sentiti tutti noi, almeno una volta, ‘’diversi’, provando quasi vergogna o timore. 
  Kaya è una bambina molto coraggiosa, senza alcun dubbio diversa dai suoi coetanei: seppure così piccola, sa che la diversità è ricchezza. Grazie alla forza dell’amore e dell’amicizia, riuscirà a sradicare tutti i pregiudizi ingiustificati sul suo conto. 
  Questo audiolibro può aiutare a far comprendere ai propri figli quanto sia importante credere in sé stessi e ad imparare ad apprezzare la realtà per la sua prolifera diversità. 
  Accade spesso che sia nel mondo degli adulti che in quello dei ragazzi non si capisca quanto siano importanti le differenze. E’ un fenomeno in crescita, soprattutto in un’era tecnologica come la nostra, in cui si cerca di trasmettere la falsa credenza che per essere belli bisogna seguire in tutto e per tutto uno standard. 
  Dopo aver ascoltato questo audio, i tuoi bambini avranno sviluppato questa consapevolezza, fondamentale per vivere in una società che sia sintesi delle più disparate diversità. 
  Come sarebbe il nostro pianeta, infatti, se tutto apparisse uguale, plastificato, scialbo? Un mondo grigio, ecco che cosa avremmo! La bellezza salverà il mondo, è vero! Ma ben sapendo che il suo sinonimo più fedele forse è ‘’diversità’’. 
  Kaya acquisisce la consapevolezza di sé e la capacità di rapportarsi agli altri grazie al sostegno dei suoi genitori e del suo caro amico. 
  Ora aspetta di essere conosciuta da ciascuno dei vostri figli, per accompagnarli in questa emozionante avventura!
