From Hans Christian Andersen Award and Batchelder Honor Medal-winning
author Roger Mello, a poetic and sensitive portrait of child labor in
Brazil's charcoal mines.
Beautifully illustrated by Roger Mello with sophisticated, highly
textural paper cutouts, Charcoal Boys follows a young boy working in
Brazil's charcoal mines. The boy's strength and resilience shine through
the darkness in this moving condemnation of child labor.
