My Sweet Orange Tree by José Mauro de Vasconcelos

adventurous emotional inspiring sad medium-paced

5.0

This book felt so special to me. It is equally sweet and wonderful as it is complex and heartbreaking. Reading from a child’s perspective reminds me of all the imagination and thoughtfulness we held as children. But Zezé has to fight to hold on to these beautiful qualities as he is faced with things no child should be. This is such a beautiful story. I can’t believe this is a children’s book.
