I am the mother of a cute boy of 4 years and a half of age, he is studying the first level of preschool, for his closing project "the magical world of reading" he was assigned the realization of a story.
For the realization of the story the Teacher of my son, I indicate the following criteria:
- The content must be done through eye-catching images.
- The story must be related to some feeling (fear, joy, anger, sadness, love).
- The material must be resistant, lasting in time.
- The most creative stories will be selected for the closing of projects.
Realization of the story
We started with the elaboration of the story, my husband (dad) made the main idea for the realization of the story, focused on sadness. It was based on a real life story, currently it is no secret for anyone the situation in my country (Venezuela), where it is very common to see street children. These street children always come knocking on the door of my house to ask for food.
When they knock on the door of my house, my son is always on the lookout and tells us to go out and open the door. When they are the street children we give them something to eat, my son is always very restless about the situation and asks questions like Why do these children come to ask for food? Why don't they have a house? Where are their parents?

Subsequently, Mom continued with the realization of the story, a real life story turned it into a wonderful fable. Using the imagination and the computer, I designed each one of the pages, trying to place colorful images.
