Book review We Are Not Little Angels

The strong and protesting title already warns readers that the book's ideas come to change our perceptions. But who will be the collective that the word “we are” refers to?

The cover illustration gives us tips by bringing a child with that well-known expression of “making art”. But does this book talk about all children?
Right at the beginning of the book, the author explains to us that this is a different child, as he has a friend who has been with him since birth.

And while reading, we can learn a little more about this difference and its particularities. But are these perceptions true?
How do the children with this friend feel when they hear these things? Are they really that different?

Publisher: Solisluna

We are not little angels is part of the September 2019 special selection, which focuses on the issue of diversity.
