A review by emilymyhren
From My Window by Otávio Júnior

4.0

I was gifted a copy of From My Window, written by Otavio Junior, illustrated by Vanina Starkoff, and published by Barefoot Books in exchange for my honest review. Opinions are my own. From My Window takes place in a Favela in Brazil which are known for violence and other problems that tend to face poor urban areas. Junior with Starkoff's vibrant illustrations paint past the stereotypes and show a lively neighborhood of bright colors and community despite the hardships. This is a great read aloud for preschoolers and elementary students.
