This school year is being a surprising one.  We are facing the challenges our teacher suggests, like talking in front of all our classmates, writing an aphorism, a poem or a microstory. Firstly, we, or at least I, don´t face these activities with too much happiness… but once done, I strongly believe that these challenges bring out the best in ourselves.

Last Thursday we had the opportunity to assist to the presentation of a book in which we have taken part. It was a really moving and unbeatable journey. I felt like having the book on my hands and when we entered we could take one in order to follow the presentation.

Since the beginning, with Emilio´s introduction, we started to listen to stories. The book includes microstories in four different languages, but all of them translated into Spanish, so everyone can understand them. What is more, every story is illustrated by two students, one of them a classmate. I find it very interesting, knowing the image that has appeared in the mind of another person when has read your story.

On the other hand, apart from the stories, the way the words mixed with the music was really nice, especially during the reading of the three last stories.

All in all, there are really moving microstories in this book and it is special as it is part of us. According to the journey, it was like “a group of people in circle telling stories in different languages”, as in the past. This type of activities makes me feel a little sad about this school year ending.
