Tobias e o Anjo

Tobias e o Anjo – Susanna Tamaro

I’m here to talk you about Tobias and the Angel, a book that I’ve recently read. It’s a really nice book, it tells us the story about a girl, named Marta. She’s eight years old, and has got a lot family issues. Her parents have got a lot of problems, and are always fighting and screaming to each other, so they don’t really care about their daughter. That makes her really sad, and ingenuously, she thinks that the stork that brought her there has made a mistake. But luckily, she has got her grandparent. She loves him, and they usually do a lot of stuff together. He has taught her a lot of things, and is always willing to listen to Marta, and speak with her.

It all started that day when her grandfather didn’t show up. She felt lonely, and thought that he didn’t care about her anymore, just like her parents. She runs away, and stays out of home during several days. The last day she’s out, she meets her guardian angel, and had a big conversation with him. That conversation makes Marta to be able to understand some things, about her parents, herself, and the world. Then, he brings her home. She realizes that her grandparent didn’t show up those days because he had a traffic accident, and her parents asked to apologize for having been terrible parents all those years. They realized that we only appreciate things after we loose them.

When I read this book, I was seduced by the message that it transmits. It’s a book that makes us reflect on the impact that family relationships can have on children. It makes us realize the role of school and the importance of communication to a child’s growth.
