ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Through this wonderfully illustrated second book, neuroscientist Nazareth Castellanos explains to the little ones how the belly works, and how things we eat affect our emotions. The belly is like a second brain.
Did you know that millions of little bugs called bacteria live in our intestines? Some have thousands of legs, others very long mustaches, others have thirty-five eyes, but all of them are tiny, almost invisible. They live there because they help us get the energy out of our food. But they also help us be smarter, better, and happier.
Discover all this and much more by tagging along with Alicia on her journey to the center of her belly, because it is from there that we make many decisions, and it is also a great nerve center of emotions, learning, and moods. In this second book, Alicia meets Mr. Zanco Panza at his Happy Not-Birthday party, and together with Mrs. Cajal they will discover how the different foods we eat affect our emotions.
Through colorful illustrations, simple metaphors, and small information boxes, the little ones will discover:
-How the feeding process works
-How important it is to eat well in order to be healthy, strong, and happy
-The importance of having a good attitude in order to be happy.
Learning how we function inside helps us take care of ourselves.
