Song to calm confusion

In a forest where every animal carries its own charms and quirks, a joke that seemed harmless turns into sadness when the sloth decides to give everyone a nickname. What begins with laughter quickly becomes confusion when a hurtful name reaches the little pied tamarin, leaving him quiet and heartbroken. That’s when the story reveals its strength: with sensitivity, humor, and a musical touch, Song to Calm Confusion shows that words can heal or hurt, and that play is only fun when no one gets hurt. Through the wisdom of Antão Zen Zão, the unity of the animals, and the sloth’s sincere apology, the book teaches a powerful lesson about empathy, kindness, and friendship. Beyond its engaging narrative, the book includes a set of creative activities, drawing, reflection, writing, coloring pages, a maze, and a shadow game, encouraging children to think about emotions, bullying, and the way we treat others, all gently and invitingly.

Children ages 5 to 10, a stage in which emotional development, social awareness, and school interactions make this book especially meaningful.
