The stories were created by the children of the fifth grade of the schools of Varese: in particular "A gift for Nature" was written by the children of the Locatelli school; "The Penguins are fed up and other stories" from the Pascoli di Lozza school"; "Crows, doves and the light of Nature" by the pupils of the IV Novembre school.
