Local residents Silvia Moreno and Noelia Pérez from l'Espluga de Francolí have launched a transformative literary initiative aimed at increasing the visibility of diverse family structures and neurodivergence.

The project stems from their personal experiences as mothers and has already been introduced to students in l'Espluga de Francolí. The stories tackle everyday challenges such as school bullying and the realities of single-parent families, aiming to foster empathy among children.

"For us, this project is not just a book, it is a little piece of our hearts. It was born from our reality as mothers and the desire for all children to grow up seeing that families can be very different, but all are full of love."
