Let's wake up the sun

About the book Ziza, the six-year-old child, afflicted with overflowing tenderness that flows from the simple things around him, overlooking the world of adults with his dreams that shine from a wonderful orange tree, confusing their rules, searching for a tender hand even if it is an illusion trembling on the page of a lonely river, here he is now away from his family and has become eleven, solitary, afflicted with nostalgia, well-dressed, clean, and cold from loneliness, stretched like a string between middle school and piano lessons. What weight can such a world bear on the shoulders of a child slipping into adolescence, burdened with dusty street memories, alleys, and the burning warmth that hovers where poverty resides? How does this boy feel now that he lives in a wealthy new family house — transformed from a blue demon into a obedient angel? Does he remain like that, as his new heart speaks to him from within and lights up his solitude with the same flame of dreams, fighting his small battles, reaching the sting of first love?
