  • 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. We presented it to Kite edizioni and we were very happy that Valentina published it.
