Zeze is the main character little boy in the book - My Sweet Orange Tree.
The book is actually read WORLD-WIDE. Hugely popular in Korea, Europe and as well as Latin/Central America and more.
It's a semi-autobiographical story about growing up in poverty in Rio de Janiero. It's utterly heartbreaking.
I don't know why this book is out of print in US or never really gained a traction.
It's million times better than Catcher in the Rye, etc.
I don't think I could read it again as a dad.
