The Sixth Lily

The Sixth Lily is a gift in my life and in the life of anyone who wants to read it. As a teacher in the countryside, I have very concrete experiences of overcoming the challenges of mediating the teaching-learning process in these spaces. At the same time, educating and learning in the countryside is a universe of possibilities. There is so much beauty in every sense. The Sixth Lily is an account of experiences that will move you. Because of the simplicity, truth and sweetness of these peasant boys and girls who, like me, don't lose their essence in the world of school, bringing their roots with them at all times, insisting that they be watered and reach deeper. My hope is that you'll read it with your feet on the ground, but you'll be able to fly high, whether you're a teacher or not, because it's a book that teaches lessons for life.
