Claudio has a special way of seeing the world. Or maybe doesn⿿t. He might just be an honest kid who watches carefully all that happens around him⿿ For example, his relationship with his dad. Are adults deaf or they just look like if they were? Sometimes children have to practice a sport because their parents want to. This is what happens to the main character of this lovely book, a young boy who resists, without success, to practice judo. ⿿The colloquial language used by the author, trying to replicate how kids talk, the rendering of their concerns and the adolescent first love is amusing and makes the book to be read with a smile.⿿ Club Kiriko
