CHILD POEMARIES
It is about two children's poems in the same book that try to bring children to nature in a simple and enjoyable way.
The farm of Laurita describes the animals of a farm, their functions and their troubles from a human perspective, giving them a personality.
In the Pond of the Farm, an ecosystem is drawn with all its variety of animals and insects in a way that awakens in children curiosity, closeness, sympathy and empathy for them.
The book aims that children, while knowing animals and their activity in nature, learn to relate to the environment, not only from the perspective of man in front of the environment, but from the point of view of belonging to an ecosystem where we are all related and have our own actions.
This respect for animals and their environment is made from the sensitivity of poetry and helps to train them in the love of nature.
The two poems are the first in a trilogy, as it will be added in the future a third volume entitled "Fables of Laurita's Farm".
María Magdalena Cánovas Martínez, born in Hellín and has a degree in Pure Philosophy from UNED, as well as a Bachelor of Theology from the Pontifical Antonianum University in Rome.
