The book results from the experience of a multidisciplinary group of Epagri??s technicians, working on Soil and Water that supports initiatives of public schools on environmental education. As a pedagogical support, the publication will reach not only technicians who work with early childhood education, but also will serve for parents, uncles, grandparents and all those who feel motivated by the theme. It provides the reader with a playful understanding of the environment and the anthropic aspects that involve the formation and maintenance of the soil biodiversity, and the importance for the maintenance of life in rural and urban spaces. All illustrations were drawn and colored by hand by Epagri extensionists using a variety of pigments extracted from Santa Catarina soils, transformed into ink called ?earth colors?. As a result of this collective effort, the book was ranked seventh among the ten finalists in the ?Children?s Book Contest on Soil Biodiversity? launched in partnership between the International Soil Science Union (IUSS), FAO/ UN and the Global Alliance for Soils (GSP) to celebrate the World Soil Day on December 5, 2020.  abiodiversity  achildren  asoil1 aSILVA, E.
