For 138 million children worldwide, there is no return to school.
Ensuring the prohibition and elimination of the worst forms of child labor and ending child labor in all its forms by 2025 is a goal of the UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
This book, a handful of love, was born from the generosity of many people. Children don’t need much more. They need to be, to play, to discover, to take risks… always with the best company nearby. Often.
With the memories of Eunice Muñoz, Rita Blanco, Sérgio Godinho, and Paul Auster, with the words of Catarina Poeiras and with the artwork of Ricardo Paula, we return to childhood.
And so, we highlight that attachment, our backbone, comes from everyday routines and breaking them from time to time!
The complete set of recipes in this book will allow us to keep rolling up our sleeves and getting down to business!
Childhood doesn’t repeat itself. That inspires us.
More than an association, we are a group working to make childhood a happy experience for all children. We work in partnership and combine research with experience, which is to say, we go from theory to practice and from practice to theory. We have discovered that behaviors are not changed only with extensive academic articles or large training programs. We change behaviors when we are emotionally involved. When we are part of the story. And we do that well.

She likes children, colors, reading, the morning light, creating, and cooking for friends. It seems like she hangs letters all over the house, on the street, all over the world. She practices joy.
She is a teacher of Portuguese and creative writing.
From Ricardo, we know right away that he evokes emotions. He is attentive, creative, and full of childlike wonder. We knocked on an open door that led us to a bright, blue day. Between paper, charcoal, brushes, and acrylics, he leaves no room for ceremony. He paints with the grandeur and genius of someone who knows and understands the value of what is simple and true. There are no poorly made strokes, only the truth of children.
For those who start counting to three
Working in a daycare center is a sensory experience par excellence, where each child’s curiosity is challenged daily through routines. This book celebrates that, the building of memories, and leads us to reflect on which memories we want to help create.

For those who are, or are about to be, a handful of years old.
Kindergarten time is ideal for exploring books, sparking children’s interest in reading. This particular book transports us to family and daily life, to our memories, to what makes us grow or what we enjoy doing.

For those who are already quite old.
This work evokes a great desire to travel back in time. And will the children grasp the importance of these moments in their future lives and growth? First-cycle students can work with its content through diverse activities, guided by the teacher, that make sense to them and that, through curricular integration, can address the most diverse areas of knowledge, achieving the meaningful learning that is intended in these school years. Perhaps we can start with the magic words in the book, which, when put together, form sentences… Why not start with very short sentences?

What we know
This book reflects on several aspects of raising children that are important for their healthy and positive development, namely, ensuring safety and basic care, emotional comfort, stimulation, guidance, boundaries, and stability. These kinds of practices help children grow. Childhood is unique; memories are formative and tell us a great deal about who we were and who we are.
