Summary

When Margarita draws something with the magic pencil, it becomes real! But what will she draw when there is only a little piece of the pencil left?
When Margarita, Daniel and Charlie see a hungry little cat, they decide they have to feed it. Even if that means going into Mrs Cranky´s yard!

But when she sees them, instead of telling them off, she rewards the children with three very special gifts: a pencil, a sharpener and an eraser.

Margarita starts to draw and something incredible happens! The drawings become real! What will the three children choose to draw? A story of friendship, equality, diversity and inclusion.
