Writing for children is a difficult genre. Though they do not appear so, they are more demanding readers than the grownups who read our novels and essays. To satisfy those adult readers we just need to recount the lives and day-to-day reality of people and places or put some message across. We do not have to go beyond the realm of the real. But children demand more: they demand imagination.
This passage by Jorge Amado appeared in an article entitled ‘Livros para crianças’ 13 years before he wrote O Gato Malhado e a Andorinha Sinhá.
