she - Why did you create this work?
I received this text from Micaela Chirif and I loved it.
It is a classic game to learn subtraction in a fun way. Children are eliminated but they never leave alone.
I like this part of sharing with an ending that is a bit of a tribute to grandmothers who can always cope with everything.
