The story of Cipì, the curious and brave sparrow who discovers the world, is a tale that has accompanied generations of young children for over fifty years.

The now-classic story by the great Italian educator and award-winning author Mario Lodi, titled Cipì, is being translated for the first time into Greek. Mario Lodi was an advocate for a new pedagogy that encourages children towards creativity through writing. The fruit of this effort is his first book Cipì.

This popular story from the great teacher-writer is inspired by a dialogue with his students in the primary school of Vo in Piandena, while the children observed the world from the window. He encouraged them to see a different world, with their own desires, without forgetting values such as friendship, hope, and freedom.

A tender poetic narrative that reflects children's emotions as they gradually discover the world. Friendship, solidarity, socialization, the struggle for survival, and our relationship with nature are some of the themes of this symbolic story, whose lyrical language continually connects us with nature, while reminding us that curiosity and courage are rewarded in a free, better life.
