This book is part of a series that serves a lot of purposes. It educates children (and/or anyone) about modern Brazil and its peoples diversity, through great pictures and simple direct texts; promotes the country, its natural beauties, culture and food (recipe included…), and last but definetly not least, raises awareness on social inclusion. The girl in it, Victoria, happens to have Down syndrome. But the difference about this book and any other, is that that is never mentioned. She is just a kid having a great time, learning a lot – and sharing this experiencie with us – while visiting her mum’s country. That is its main attribute – it is natural, subtle, light and easy to read. It is a lot of fun.
