Ariane Mandray offers **a visual, playful and powerful synthesis of all the riches of Nonviolent Communication (NVC)**, which she taught for several years.

Different characters accompany the reader as he or she explores NVC: the "globules", who are simply "everyday people" in everyday situations.

They are accompanied by the "little teacher", who reveals what's going on and provides the NVC perspective.

Their interaction makes it possible to explain often abstract concepts visually, with very little text and a great deal of spontaneity.

Ariane Mandray has the talent to transform concepts into curves, lines, and colors. To metamorphose words into images, with simplicity and tenderness. Here, she offers a visual, playful, and impactful synthesis that captures all the richness of Nonviolent Communication (NVC), with very little text and a lot of spontaneity. May this book be a first seed for you, readers, and may it give you access to the power of this process.
