NÃO VOU DORMIR

In the book Não Vou Dormir, text and creation by Christiane Gribel and illustration by Orlando, the two languages ​​dialogue in perfect harmony and unleash a potential of meanings. These draw the child's attention to the expressive resources of both verbal and non-verbal language.
I'm Not Going to Sleep, said the little girl. I'll stay wide awake here in bed. I'm not sleepy at all. Mom sent me to bed. But that doesn't mean I'm going to sleep. I'm not going to sleep.
Reading this story, which deals with a situation so close to children's daily lives, resisting sleep, not wanting to go to bed, not wanting to sleep, can also contribute to a reflection on children's resistance to respecting their own limits and those imposed by their parents.
