AQUI BEM PERTO
In Aqui, very close, Alexandre Rampazo evokes the affections that populate childhood in a book in which text and image work together to touch the reader's emotions with extreme delicacy. Through the relationship between a boy and his bear, the book shows us that sometimes a little fantasy can do more justice to the complexity of the feelings we experience than any realism. The ending of the book reminds us that childhood, in addition to its games and joy, is also the moment in life when we experience our first great losses and learn to deal with them.
