Description
A story about sensitivity, masculinity, and the value of being oneself. Neo likes many things: music, stories, walking his toy elephant, playing with his friends... and, above all, Neo loves hugs. But when the adults start telling him how a boy should behave, Neo gets very sad. Why do grown-ups tell him things he can't understand? Sonia Encinas , a feminist mother, journalist, and sexologist, talks about the challenges of educating her son in feminism, far from gender stereotypes that encourage boys to show bravery and strength and to hide sensitivity and tenderness. Through a simple metaphor, this story tells us about: -The importance of recognizing all emotions and to relate to others with affection, care, and tenderness. -Education about self-esteem and the richness of diversity. -The courage in being vulnerable. -The value in having sensitivity to understand each other, love each other, and build healthy relationships. -The limitations that gender stereotypes cause in the construction of one's own identity. -The importance of having adult role models who show their sensitivity. An ideal book to read, learn, and embrace as a family.
