John, Little John, Little John

João, Joãozinho, Joãozito lyrically tells a precious story: the childhood of Guimarães Rosa.

In a language full of poetry, João, Joãozinho, Joãozito follows the trajectory of João Guimarães Rosa, one of the most important writers in national literature: from his childhood in the countryside, to his literary career, passing through his talent for creating new words.

With the colorful lines of illustrator Simone Matias, the story comes to life. Claudio Fragata's poetic prose interweaves story and fiction, aptly uniting the Minas Gerais author with one of his characters, the boy Miguilim.

This beautiful introduction to Guimarães Rosa, João, Joãozito, will teach us all, children and enchanted boys, to love, or love a little more, the character-author, who has lived, for years, where everything is backlands.
