Miss Marisa was the school librarian and loved books. He always went from one class to another carrying books with his skinny little arms. Children who were new to school looked at her at first with a little fear ... it was so serious! But as soon as they talked to her about books, they realized that in reality, Miss Marisa was the funniest teacher in the school.

A children's story about the love of reading

He used to wear bright colors, he liked to jump rope and play hide and seek, and he always proposed strange games, like the time he forced fifth graders to wear enormous glasses to read Manolito Gafotas, or when he brought a broom to read 'The little witch'. I also knew so much ... There was no book that had not been read!

Therefore, Miss Marisa always waited until the last day of class to give all the students of the school a list of books to read in the summer. He liked to recommend especially the great adventure classics. At first, the children, who only thought about enjoying the summer, did not pay much attention to Miss Marisa, but when the weeks passed and they began to get bored of the heat, the pool and the pipes, many ended up reading some of the recommendations of the Miss Marisa. And when, finally, September arrived, the children told the teacher what they thought of those books.

- How I liked Treasure Island!

- Well, I had a great time with the three musketeers!

Miss Marisa listened to them excitedly and her serious face turned cheerful and she did not stop smiling.

However, that June the children realized that something was happening to Miss Marisa. He - I've been investigating - exclaimed one day Fabi, who was a fourth-grade girl who loved mystery novels.

- He sure has fallen in love. That's why he sighs so much! - Elsa exclaimed that she was going to fifth grade and had started reading romantic books. Se - He will have tired of the books - said Ismael, who preferred to draw comics than to read the stories without drawings sent to him in the sixth. No - It's not that - interrupted Fabi - as I say, I've been investigating and I know what happens: La Miss Marisa retires!

The children were very surprised and also a little sad. What was to become of the school library without this strange woman and her crazy ideas? But there was nothing they could do. This was confirmed by the director:

-

The only thing you can do is to thank her for everything she has done for you so that she feels loved for all these years at school .

But how could they do that? They spent the whole morning mulling over the issue until they finally found a solution.

- What Marisa Marisa likes most are the books, so you have to give her a book!- But what, if you have already read them all ...- One only for her. One that we do among all of us.

- And she can be the protagonist.

A story made by the children

But as Miss Marisa had already read them all, the children decided to create a book just for her.

It would be a book that they would write together and in which she was the protagonist. That was how each one wrote a story, an adventure of Miss Marisa in school, or in the fantasy world of books and bound them together. Ismael was in charge of making the illustrations. Although they did not have much time, with a lot of work and everyone's help, the children managed to finish the gift.

When the last day of class the children went to the library in search of Miss Marisa, they found her sitting in her chair, sadly picking up her last things: two blank notebooks, chalks, colored pencils, markers, scissors, cough drops, three glasses that were left over when they did the activity of Manolito Gafotas, a jump rope with which he used to play with third-grade children and some books.

- Miss Marisa, this is for you.

When the teacher opened that package and found that wonderful book full of stories that her children had created just for her

she started laughing and crying at the same time. He filled them with kisses and hugs and very happy distributed all the objects among the children. I did not need to take anything home anymore. That book was enough for him and the satisfaction of having gotten those children to love books as much as he loved them.
