Meu Pequeno Mundo
Brino, a young and curious boy from the outskirts of Brazil, faces a big challenge when he tries to understand and accept the differences in his friends. As he navigates through misunderstandings and obstacles, Brino learns about tolerance, patience, and the beauty of diversity.
In the vibrant neighborhood of Periferia do Brasil, a curious boy named Brino loved exploring his surroundings. One day, he noticed his friend Joana was acting differently. She often needed quiet time and didn't like loud noises. Brino wondered why and felt it was important to understand. He wanted to help Joana feel included, but he didn't know how.
- Why doesn't Joana want to play with us? Brino asked his friend Miguel. - Maybe she's just different, Miguel replied. Brino couldn't stop thinking about it and decided he needed to learn more. He asked his mom about differences and how to be a good friend. His mom explained about autism and the importance of patience.
Brino was determined to understand Joana better, but he faced his first obstacle. Joana didn't always respond when he tried talking to her. - Why won't she talk to me? Brino wondered, feeling frustrated. His friends told him not to worry, but Brino was determined to find a way to communicate.
Brino decided to try again by inviting Joana to a soccer game. But Joana didn't come, and Brino felt discouraged. - Maybe she doesn't like me, Brino thought sadly. His friend Miguel reminded him that sometimes it takes time to build a friendship. Brino realized he had to be patient.
Brino tried sending Joana a drawing he made. He loved drawing and thought it might show Joana he cared. But Joana didn't respond, and Brino felt like giving up. - Maybe I'm just not good at this, Brino sighed. He was beginning to lose hope.
One afternoon, Brino sat alone, feeling defeated. He thought about giving up on understanding Joana. - Maybe I should just leave her alone, Brino said to himself. But deep inside, he knew he couldn't give up. He cared too much to stop trying.
Brino's mom noticed his struggle and sat down to talk with him. - Have you tried asking Joana what she likes? she suggested. Brino hadn't thought of that. Excited by this new idea, he decided to try once more.
Brino approached Joana the next day with a new plan. - Hi Joana, what do you like to do? he asked gently. To his surprise, Joana smiled and mentioned her love for painting. Brino felt a spark of hope and invited her to paint together.
Together, they painted a beautiful mural on the wall near their school. Brino learned how to be patient and to listen, and Joana found a friend who understood her. - Thanks for being my friend, Joana said softly. Brino realized that understanding and patience can create wonderful friendships.
Brino felt proud of his new friendship and the mural they created together. He learned that everyone is unique and that understanding takes time and effort. - We make a great team, don't we? Brino said with a smile. Joana nodded happily, knowing she had found a true friend. Brino's small world had grown bigger and more beautiful.
