The Enchanted Cocoa Tree

By João Calazans Filho

ere comes João with his cocoa tree… Come on guys, it’s not “John and the Beanstalk” (by Benjamin Tabart?). No, no. This cocoa tree that belongs to our João, the Calazans one, is an enchanted one and has already hugged him and all the other merry kids, who now have the opportunity to enjoy its sweet almonds. And that’s how The Enchanted Cocoa Tree will proceed, without a witches’ broom, healthy, beautiful, to smear all the kids in the world with culture and entertainment. After all, reading, just like chocolate, should be served three times a day. Ah, João Calazans, just like John and the Beanstalk, shared the magic seeds of the Cocoa Tree in exchange of knowledge, of happiness and the experiences of these children, and the seeds will sprout and give birth to giant stars to light up the sky. Allana and Giovanna have a lot to smile about, to dream about, to be proud of this uncle that insert them in this fantasy world, flying on the wings of a giant hummingbird — or would it be of parrot’s? Who knows!? A magical book, an enchanted Cocoa Tree, and charming children. They require nothing else, other than flying among the wings of imagination of this storyteller, this great writer, Calazans; and this great friend, João. Congratulations and enjoy the book!
