This story, written by Martí Olivella (equilibra.cat), is a reading tool in Catalan and Spanish suitable for reflecting on the importance of Peace and nonviolence. The inhabitants of the Fire Planet are fascinated by fire, so they end up burning everything. Little by little, the Centrolina, the Pyrenees, and the rest of the protagonists of this story full of magic will learn the secret to prevent fire on their planet.
Soon we will also work on the creation of multidisciplinary reading, reflection and digital creation activities, as well as tactile, usingScratch Jr Tactile in the classroom, using com based on work the chapters of this story.
