Pencil Case Town Reinaldo Alonso

This is the presentation of the characters who live in "Pencil Case Town", a space that exists in the imagination of the little ones and that creatively answers questions such as: "Where do the supplies we use at school come from?", and "Where do they go in the summer, when you don't have to go to class?". This place is where the learning partners of the smallest of our families have their home. A world where younger children can be reflected, which is familiar to them and at the same time encourages them in their development, answering questions or problems typical of the stage of life they are going through. More specifically, it is ensured that through the adventures of these characters and their families, values such as friendship, tolerance, work, honesty and the joy of learning are transmitted. Foundations on which a positive maturity is built. In the case of "Isosceles bike", the story seeks to capture attention with the search, to reconstruct a path that registers common places in any neighborhood, starting from a common and integrating point such as the school. The "mystery" of what actually happened encourages the reader to ask and take the answers as the trigger for new questions, something that is essential for learning. In turn, children are given the notion that this is a collective task, in which friendship is the main pillar. The outcome reinforces this idea, seeking to generate a positive feeling regarding the expectations that every child has not only about the world they are beginning to discover but also about the future of their own stories.
