He pointed out that the work seeks to redefine wonder as a gateway to knowledge and as a tool that develops in the child a love for exploration and contemplation of the world around them. He added that the text was written in a spirit that celebrates childhood and its pure values, and in ways that stimulate the child's imagination and invite them to positive and creative thinking, confirming that theater remains an effective means of instilling human values in an entertaining and impactful style.
