Charcoal Boys

Charcoal Boys
by Roger Mello (Author / Illustrator) and Daniel Hahn (Translator)

Booktalk: Translated from the Portuguese, this offers a unique perspective on the life of a young boy working in Brazil’s charcoal mines: that of a wasp who follows the boy throughout his day. Through the wasp we observe the hardships the boy faces, from his work at the furnaces to his relationships with the other workers. A condemnation of child labor.
