Marisa Vidilla thought she knew everything. I knew the number pi with decimals, He was fluent in several languages (4 telling a secret that she herself had invented), knew about artifacts, animals and art history. There was no conversation that did not interest him and the last word was always his.. During confinement, he set up an online debate group in which he managed to prove that the egg came before the chicken, or was it the other way around?? In any case, His parents were not surprised by what he asked for as a Christmas gift.: “I want to be older”, said. To try to dissuade her, They handed him a book. restless told the story of an impulsive girl, interested in many things and wanted to do everything her way. Marisa felt very identified, but I still wanted to grow. His parents then offered him seven other titles to see if he really knew everything.. He enjoyed with Different ways of doing the same things, Well, he discovered that there are many ways to get angry, to jump into the water, and even travel to the moon; thanks to The architect and the tree He realized that creativity is born from chaos., and devised how to improve coexistence between city and nature; Markets, a world to discover revealed to him the existence of floating markets and countless exotic foods; the cosmos opened before her as she entered When dad showed me the universe, a story in which a boy and his father embark on the adventure of contemplating the starry sky; I had not heard of World War II and its horrors, and was moved when he read I have seen a woodpecker, the diary of a child in Poland 1939, adorned with beautiful illustrations; had never stopped to think about what an enclosed animal feels until reading The Cage, that made her reflect on freedom, its limits, and even about death, a concept so far away for her; but, above all, the emotion of The Baldomera donkey upon being reunited with his owner after months without seeing him, and at that moment he realized that love moves the world, a world that still seemed mysterious. That same afternoon he wrote a new letter: “Dear Mr.. Santa: I have changed my mind, I want to continue being a girl. I still have a lot to learn. Thus, I would appreciate some more books. P.d.: I am attaching a report on how you can deliver gifts in half the time.. Sincerely, Marisa Vidilla”. F.MARTÍN AND GLORIA POZUELO
