What is an Argued Argument? Little Arguments have never seen it before and they turn to the Wise Head-Scratcher for advice. It is not a normal argument between brothers, sisters, friends or even adults. To be clear, this kind of arguments are not like the ones that mess things up, and leave you “a shaggy head and a heart beating an exciting rumba”. Nor like an argument between children, which serves to express what you feel in your stomach and then learn to make peace. An Argued Argument is when one argument argues with another argument, then another, then another… until when everything gets tangled up. An Argued Argument has not beginning and no end, has no memory, and it’s the worst thing because it’s the war. The Old Argument explains how to fix things to the frightened Little Arguments. A delicate, philosophical text by Sara Di Matteo with the beautiful illustrations by Giulia Ceccarani.
- thinking about how you feel when you argue with someone;
- making peace;
- understanding how war begins.
