IL MANUALE DELLE 50 (PICCOLE) RIVOLUZIONI PER CAMBIARE IL MONDO
il manuale delle 50 (piccole) rivoluzioni per cambiare il mondo in realtà è una cosa grande.
Le mie figlie mi hanno già sgridato: ho tenuto il manuale in borsa con al seguito bottiglietta d'acqua (ovviamente chiusa male) e l'ho già rovinato e ondulato.
Sembra che lo abbia già utilizzato per la mia piccola rivoluzione.
In realtà l'ho letto, ma la mia rivoluzione non l'ho fatta.
È un progetto di Federico Taddia, giornalista, autore, conduttore radiofonico per Radio 24, e Pierdomenico Baccalario, tra tante cose autore di romanzi d'avventura per ragazzi, con le illustrazioni di Antongionata Ferrari.
Dopo i volumi dedicati alle 50 missioni segrete e alle ennesime avventure, ecco la rivoluzione.
Non e' un libro, è un vero e proprio manuale con tanto di busta contenente un documento molto importante.
Da mamma, da grande e da donna, amo le rivoluzioni del tipo, prova a rimanere sconnesso, a usare il dizionario, fai una ricerca senza copiare da wikipedia, non seguire la moda, cerca e dai buone notizie... ma soprattutto quella di passare la palla agli "scarsi". Penso da adulto che sia la prova in cui credere di più anche da grande e la più difficile da insegnare ai nostri figli.
Da non perdere. Anche per noi grandi.
