Can you get up a minute?
Okay, you can sit. It started this morning's meeting students from the second cycle of primary education with the Galician writer Fina Casalderrey.
With these words the author of Nightmare on the chocolate train showed the smallest power of words.
And is that not only has traveled Casalderrey Pontevedra to Cartagena to discuss his book, but to teach children the magic of literature.
Nearly 200 students from schools Azorin and Our Lady of Sorrows of 3 ° and 4 ° of Elementary have participated in the Meeting with Author organizing municipal libraries and this week is invited to Fine Casalderrey author.
During the meeting, several times, Galicia have been repeated on several occasions that although they are smaller than her age are just as smart.
In fact, as the writer does not need to explain to children the difference between phrases and is day and night opened the doors a day, and they quickly identify what is most striking without the need to explain what it is literature.
Children are clever and this is reflected in the writer does not have to give all the clues to discover what is happening. The end of the book I was very surprised.
Is a thief who steals without being caught travelers, I never tell who is the thief and they have found a small track.
On the other hand, Fine Casalderrey is aware that the fans reading is not something that arises from infused knowledge.
For her, it is not read much in meters, but do so with sensitivity. When you see people around you really enjoy is contagious.
To me my father bought me books and told me, not now read them, you have to work.
Save it for later.
