With a simple and friendly language, the book approaches the hunger and solidarity issue. It stimulates the reader to take part of the story, get touched by the issue, mostly due to the illustrations that value the plantations, the land cultivation and the mouth-watering “Feijoada” (Brazilian Bean Stew) made by the whole community.
At the end, the book presents the text “The Fight for the Dreams”, which explains the Collection WAYS TO CHANGE THE WORLD, based on the 8 Millennium Development Goals (United Nations). The first one, “Eradicate Extreme Poverty and Hunger”, motivated The Girl and the Juicy Bean Stew.
