This article was born out of the desire to pay tribute to Ziraldo Alves Pinto, or Ziraldo, a memorable Brazilian writer who died in April 2024. However, the question was how to pay tribute to him. It was then that the decision was made to do so based on the approach to Geography, the author's area of training and interest, working with Ziraldo's book “Lição de Geografia” and highlighting his important role both for the country's literature and society and for the teaching of geographical content at school, especially physical geography. Thus, at the same time as paying tribute to Ziraldo, the aim is to present some teaching boards built as adaptations of the landforms portrayed in “Lição de Geografia”; the adaptations were designed to inspire the teaching of Geography from the perspective of inclusive education, and were made according to the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) approach. Another objective is to report on the dialogues and validation of the adaptations and on the potential of the literature in this task. This stage, systematized in the results, took place in 2024, in partnership with students on the morning shift of a course in Geography at the State University of Londrina.
