This richly illustrated album, designed to stimulate the curiosity and autonomous reading skills of children in the literacy phase, contains several verses of capoeira songs and, at the end, presents the history of the emergence and spread of the Afro-Brazilian fight. In the rhythm of popular poetry and in Mariana Massarani's drawing, the colors, the energy of the fight and the magical touch of the berimbaus vibrate. The result is a joyful book with the irresistible allure of capoeira circles. Come and play, comrade! Berimbau has sent for you!
