Some children perceive the world differently.
They see colours moving around people, feel subtle sensations they cannot yet put into words, and experience inner perceptions that adults often dismiss as “just imagination”.
The Coloured Egg was created to offer a simple, poetic and respectful language for what many children naturally perceive.
Through delicate illustrations and a gentle narrative, the book introduces the concept of the
aura as a series of “coloured shells”, similar to an egg or a matryoshka doll, surrounding every human being. The physical body, emotions, thoughts and more subtle dimensions are explained without forcing interpretations, leaving space for the child’s personal experience.
The main character, Martino, guides young readers on a visual and emotional journey where colours become tools for understanding, dialogue and awareness.
This book does not ask children to
believe.
It invites them to
listen.
It does not impose explanations, but
plants inner images that may unfold and mature over time.
Designed for shared reading,
The Coloured Egg is also a valuable resource for parents, educators and teachers who wish to introduce children to a more holistic approach to education—one that recognises emotions, thoughts and inner sensitivity as essential parts of growth.
The book is part of the
Gli Esoterini series, dedicated to children’s books that speak through symbolic, respectful and non-dogmatic language, allowing meaning to work gently and deeply, without haste.
