I Should Be at School
I Should Be at School
A non-fiction children's and young adult book about being a child in a territory with violence.
Pre-order available until March 23rd
How hard is it to talk about violence, and how does it affect children?
How impossible is it to make a book about kids whose lives have been affected by violent public policies perpetrated by the State?
I Should Be at School is a non-fiction book written and illustrated collectively by many children who live in Maré, a large neighborhood made up of 8 favelas in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
These children have been used to standing up for their rights from a very early age and, as can be seen in this book, they have a lot to say and to show the world.
