«Mi planta de naranja lima» is the novel by José Mauro de Vasconcelos, published by Libros del Asteroide in paperback, with 208 pages, in Spanish.
Zezé, a five-year-old Brazilian boy from a humble family, divides his days between mischief that earns him punishment at home and an imagination that dazzles his teacher at school. When sadness envelops him, he finds comfort in Minguinho, a little sweet lime tree, and in the Portuguese man, owner of the nicest car in the neighbourhood.
The novel, originally published in 1968, recreates José Mauro de Vasconcelos's childhood in the Rio neighbourhood of Bangú. This 2011 Spanish edition, translated from Portuguese by Carlos Manzano, is number 84 in the Libros del Asteroide collection.
Recommended as school reading and for young people from 12 years old; the child's view of poverty also reaches adult readers.
