Maestrapiccola

Cristina Petit is a primary school teacher. Day by day, in the pages of her diary, with short notes and skilful strokes, she illustrates a portrait of her school life. Her pupils, with their funny and surprising dialogues, open our minds to their complex and innocent world. A portrait, sometimes hilarious, sometimes touching, which always manages to show us the world through the eyes of a child. The ironic style of the author brings the reader to deep universal considerations, about the mission of the teaching staff and about the children’s needs: a global reflection that holds true in all places and times.
