This anthology is a panoramic view of all my children's stories written at different times and on different themes and genres. Among the themes, there is a wide range of stories about love, death, life, life after death, courage, innocence, envy, etc. Among the genres, there are tales realistic, surrealistic, fantastic, popular, etc. Some of these tales fit very well with the narrative technique of magical realism; others are based on folklore, beliefs and superstitions, myths, and religious beliefs. There are allegorical tales and historical fiction. But, for the most part, these stories are based on my own experience, on events and situations I have observed throughout my life, as I have found myself in different places and circumstances.
