A book by Brazilian writer Lygia Bojunga—“The Yellow Bag,” winner of the Hans Christian Andersen Award, as well as the Astrid Lindgren Award.
Raquel loves writing stories and dreams of becoming a writer. She also thinks boys in this world live far easier than girls. Oh, why wasn’t she born a boy!
And of course, that’s how Raquel thinks—being an adult and independent is much better than being little. If only she could grow up!
What wonderful dreams. But the family only laughs at them. Then Raquel decides to hide her wishes in the yellow bag. No one will laugh at them anymore…
For middle-grade readers.
