Piets With Greasepaint

By Pierluigi Frisco

This story, together with the other stories in this series, has been written thinking to Dutch children of at least 5 years and to people who recently moved to The Netherlands from outside Europe.
The aim of this series is to stimulate thinking and discussions on traditions, habits, stereotypes, ... present in cultures and their interpretation in cultures different than the one in which they originated.
The present story is the prologue of the other stories in this series. Here we introduce the characters, in the following stories we let their culture meet other cultures.
We strongly recommend reading the fictional interview in the Afterwords: it describes the author's point of view on the Dutch tradition of St. Nicolas’ black helpers, in the following referred as ‘piets’, how the idea of this series originated and what its aim is.
