This book is a collection of sketches that can be performed either with dolls or by the children themselves. The first five are for middle school children while the last two are for younger ones. In all the sketches, the protagonists are children with their big - like hunger during the Occupation - or small - like grades and friendships - problems. Through all the stories, an important educational message always emerges, a characteristic element of Elly Alexiou's broader work.
