Challenges are needed





An experienced farmer, Arnaldo, imagined that perhaps he could solve the problem of hunger and misery.

He talked with God and obtained from the Lord of the Universe ample powers to control everything related to agriculture and food production.

With the powers of the Most High, the peasant managed the climate - preventing droughts and floods -, he managed the soil conditions, agricultural technologies, the rights of workers and consumers, achieving fantastic production.

But something very serious happened. What would have happened?

The story covered in the book "Challenges are necessary" emphasizes how much conflict, discussion, clashing of ideas and the dispute of positions can powerfully leverage the evolution of man and nature.

All of them present simple and inspiring stories designed to enable communion between parents and children.

In a playful way, each book presents a narrative where fun teachings stand out. They are lessons based on the philosophy that interacts meditation and conduct. But not any mental contemplation and any action, but meditation and conduct that are anchored in critical reflection.

How to deal with problems, from the simplest and most ordinary - which emerge from day to day - to the most serious and complex? More than that, how to process them without losing sight of creativity and rationality, putting principles and values on the same scale, self-esteem and collectivity, respect for differences and tolerance, fraternity and solidarity.

The need to keep emotions in a state of equilibrium, the stimulus to curiosity and investigation, the impetus to successive questions, the importance of giving relevance to informal education as well, the development of skills that make it possible to deconstruct thinking in order to reconstruct it in new ways bases, are some of the inputs explored in the books of the Collection.

How to think better? Wouldn't happiness be in the little things that are tangled up in everyday life? And as for justice, democratic principles and ethical values, are they not the pillars that support the virtuous man? These are questions that the author developed and that structure the scenarios present in the stories, a privileged space where parents and children - through readings and discussions - will learn from each other.
