Clara lives in Brazil, where she runs around barefoot wearing an old oversized t-shirt. She works at the local orphanage, and every Thursday, he small group of friends await her arrival with impatience. While many of the homeless children spend their time sniffing glue to forget about their troubles, Clara and her friends have something better: she likes to share with them her great imagination and tell them stories that transport them far away. A touching story very simply told, with monotype illustrations that can best be described as cheerfully freeform and experimental. ( )
