Bernardo, a shy 11-year-old boy with blue glasses, navigates life at his school in Rio de Janeiro. He befriends a new classmate, Luana, who is on the autism spectrum and struggling to fit in. As Bernardo tries to help Luana feel accepted, they face challenges and misunderstandings. Will honesty and friendship help them overcome these obstacles?
Bernardo was excited and nervous about the new school year. In his class, there was a new student named Luana, who was on the autism spectrum. Luana often preferred to sit alone, and some kids didn't understand her. Bernardo wanted to help Luana feel welcome, but he didn't know how. He worried about saying the wrong thing or embarrassing himself.
Bernardo decided to approach Luana during recess. He gathered his courage and walked over to her. But just as he was about to speak, Luana got up and walked away. Bernardo felt disheartened and wondered if he had done something wrong. " - Why did she leave?" he thought with a sigh.
The next day, Bernardo tried to get Luana's attention again by inviting her to play soccer with his friends. Luana hesitated and then shook her head. Bernardo felt frustrated. His friend Rafael said, " - Maybe she just doesn't like soccer." This made Bernardo think that maybe he needed to find something Luana enjoyed.
Bernardo felt like giving up as he realized he didn't know how to help. He sat under a tree, feeling defeated. " - It's so hard to help someone when you don't know what they need," he muttered. Just then, his teacher, Ms. Silva, walked by and noticed his frustration. " - Sometimes, the best thing to do is just ask," she suggested with a kind smile.
Taking Ms. Silva's advice, Bernardo approached Luana during lunch. " - Can we talk?" he asked gently. Luana nodded, and Bernardo asked, " - What do you like to do? Maybe we can do it together." Luana smiled softly and said, " - I love drawing." Bernardo was relieved to find a starting point for their friendship.
With honesty and patience, Bernardo and Luana began drawing together every day. Other students noticed and slowly joined in, creating a friendly group. Luana felt more accepted and started to open up. " - I'm glad we talked," Bernardo said one day, smiling at Luana. " - Me too," Luana replied, her eyes shining with happiness.
