Elvira Di Lena, ex insegnante della scuola primaria, ha raccolto le poesie che aveva scritto per insegnare ai bambini concetti, grammatica, i fatti della vita e la bellezza del mondo che ci circonda. Ha anche pensato di leggerle e ne è nato questo audiolibro. Non bisogna aspettarsi una lettura professionale, almeno non nel senso di una vera recitazione. Elvira legge le sue poesie esattamente come le leggerebbe una maestra ai suoi piccoli allievi, con quel trasposto e quella semplicità che catturano l'attenzione dei bambini.

Cinquanta invettive per le grandi rabbie dei piccoli, e per piccole rabbie dei grandi. Poesie furiose, amare, esagerate, dolenti e spassose, che offrono ai bambini arrabbiati "parole per dirlo".

E magari da copiare sul diario di un amico che ci ha offeso, su un bigliettino da inviare a un insolente.
