The volume is designed to support children in developing their self-esteem at school, under the guidance of a clinical professional, and within the family context.

The first part of the book offers methodological insights with simple and clear indications on the best strategies and behaviors to enhance one’s talents. The second part presents a pathway based on reading the attached illustrated fairy tale which features “Ada, a special turtle,” and carries out a series of psychoeducational activities related to it. The story (available in both an extended version and an adapted version) allows readers to experience the effectiveness of the proposed strategies: Ada is an old turtle who is a bit of a “scaredy-cat”, but gradually she begins to develop self-confidence, and by facing risks and dangers, she discovers and values her own talents.
