This book accompanies children aged five and up on the discovery of their own bodies with an overview of each body area and the most important internal organs, starting at the top with the head and continuing down to the feet. The cards are inspired by the Montessori Method and help the children to develop an awareness of their own bodies by helping them to learn the name, the position, the size and the function of each organ. Each child interacts with the book but also carries out exercises directly with his or her own body in order to learn to observe it and listen to it.
