  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!
