Let's wake the sun - Jose Mauro

Zarwaiya, let us wake the sun, by author Jose Mauro, is the second part of the novel My Wonderful Orange Tree, Ziza, a six-year-old child with overflowing tenderness who is affected by the simple things around him, overlooking the world of adults with his dreams that shine from his wonderful orange tree, confusing their rules, searching for a caring hand even if it is an illusion trembling on the page of a lonely river. Here he is now away from his family, at eleven years old, solitary, nostalgic, 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 memories of dusty streets, alleys, and the burning warmth that hovers where poverty resides? How does this boy feel now that he has moved into a new wealthy family’s house—transformed from a blue devil 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, until he experiences the sting of first love?
