"The Cricket Who Thought Only of Himself" is a story about how to learn to understand others. Our hero, the Cricket, could not do this and with a light heart left his friends to solve their own problems alone: the Ladybug - to look for a missing spot, the Bee - to untangle a wing, the Spider - to wind a web into balls, the Centipede - to sew boots. But when he himself needed help, his friends were right there and helped the Cricket out. Only then did he understand: what seems like a trifle to him can be incredibly important to someone else - you just need to put yourself in his place!
The book is written in a clear language, it has a lot of dialogues, so a child of 2-4 years old will easily perceive it by ear. While listening, he will be able to look at the pictures, which the French artist Mylene Rigodi filled with many interesting details.
The author of this picture book, Susanna Isern, a practicing psychologist and mother of three children, knows very well how important it is to develop emotional intelligence in a person from an early age. All her stories teach a child to understand themselves, their feelings, build relationships with other people and ultimately become happy. That is why the writer's books are published in different languages, and parents all over the world enjoy reading them to their children.
