More than a story, this book conveys essential values such as respect for nature, recycling, and the importance of small gestures to care for the planet.
Inspired by the story, the children at the "A Semente" Children's Center took advantage of this moment to build the turtle Guiomar, using paints, textures, collages, and colored papers, giving free rein to their creativity while exploring different materials and sensations.
An inspiring read to sensitize the youngest to environmental preservation.
