ÓCULOS DE COR

With her already established narrative power, Lilia Moritz Schwarcz turns to children's literature to provide young readers with reflections on issues of primary importance, such as whiteness and the structural racism that affects everyone in Brazil.
Presentation 
Alvo is a boy full of energy, and he always has a different subject on his mind – it could be the history of Brazil, a superhero from a TV series or the next trip he's going to take on vacation. He lives with his family in an elegant neighborhood, goes to school every morning and, despite being a curious boy, he knows little about the world around him, which is so different from his own.
Ebony loves making friends and telling stories – and would even tell more, if he had the time. With her busy schedule, from dance classes to the drawings she loves to do, the girl almost never sits still. Your world is too big! And she is about to start studying at a new school, with teachers and classmates she had never met before.
When Albus and Ebony meet, a special journey begins in their lives. On this path, Alvo realizes that the world is much more diverse than he imagined and that it is possible to "see and see" beyond our own existences and with many more colors.
After the story, the book brings a glossary that not only elucidates issues addressed throughout the narrative, but, mainly, proposes a dive into very important topics for us to reflect on a country that needs to be more fair and less unequal.
