Has children's literature been adequately presented to children? We will present a proposal for a teaching resource called Box of Charms and Life, based on the biography of the Brothers Grimm. This work is bibliographical in nature, based on the authors of the Historical-Cultural Theory. We consider it important to relate the historical aspects of Germany between the 18th and 19th centuries to the experiences of Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm and to emphasise that the more enriching experiences children can have, the richer their learning will be.
