Sinopse

In The Vegetarian Boy , award-winning writer Fabricio Carpinejar tells the story of Emanuel, a 6-year-old boy from Rio Grande do Sul who loves animals and doesn't like eating meat. So far, so good. The problem is that his father doesn't like the idea of having a vegetarian son. Illustrated by Sandra Lavandeira, the book conveys an important message about respect for animals and differences.

Watercress, chicory, arugula, and spinach can all be turned into a salad. Or a song. Emanuel likes both.

With a natural empathy for animals and an unwavering desire to protect all forms of life, Emanuel embarks on an adventure full of challenges.

This is because the father thinks his son needs to be like him, who loves a barbecue.

But everything changes when Emanuel shows his father that the courage to be kind can be stronger than he imagines.

With illustrations by Sandra Lavandeira, The Vegetarian Boy addresses vegetarianism and respect for animals, as well as respect for differences.

"Most parents struggle with their children when it's time to serve salad on their plates. It's a tantrum, a frown, a pushing and shoving with the spoon, a "I don't want it," a "I don't like it," a "it's bad," a "it's sour," a cry, a "it's morning," a punishment. There's no greater negotiation than convincing a child to eat some greens. But that wasn't a problem for 6-year-old Emanuel. Emanuel loved fruits, vegetables, and greens. Since he was 3, he'd moaned over lettuce, beets, and carrots. The same moan he gave to a popsicle. The same moan he gave to chocolate. He shared imaginary dialogues with vinegar, olive oil, and salt."
