A thought he emphasized in his text "The Grammar of Fantasy", a text with theoretical value, dedicated to all educators, parents and, in general, to all those concerned with education is a work of non-fiction that praises the power of imagination and the importance of its daily use, as well as the fundamental nature of children's creativity education
