With the book as a starting point, you can:

• Discuss: What do you think we need more in life: love or a very soft pillow? Why is each important in its own way? What else makes us feel good and happy at home and with our family?
• Ask the child: What is love to you? What things (material or not) make you feel loved and happy at home? What is your favorite pillow and why do you like it so much?
• Create: Make a list or drawings of all the things (people, emotions, objects) that make you happy or create your own "very soft pillow" for hugs, sweet dreams, and many stories!
