Escrever um livro infantil é um desafio e manter o personagem vivo no adulto que um dia já foi criança é um mérito! Para quem, algum dia, leu uma única história de Curious George o significado da frase acima parece óbvio. Àqueles que não leram, eu aconselho ler uma pequenina história o quanto antes, para assim descobrir um mundo mágico onde a delicadeza e a amizade se perpetuam na curiosidade de um macaquinho que vive escondido dentro de cada um nós. As stated in an interview, the book Curious George Takes a Job was inspired by a true story. A boy, whose name is not known today, was born in Hamburg in 1909 with Down's Syndrome. He was institutionalized by his parents, condemned to a life at the facility. When the boy was 15, he escaped from the institution and fled into the city streets. Hungry and in search of food, he found the briefly unattended kitchen of a restaurant, where a cook found him playing with the food and eating it. The cook, intrigued, put him to work to clean dishes, and took him home that evening. Within the following days, the cook arranged with a friend to have the boy wash windows at an office building. The boy's work went well at first. But in one office, he found colored paints. He used them to paint a mural on the wall of the office. The tenant returned to his office after a lunch break to find the boy busy painting, and he started to chase after him. The boy jumped out a third-story window, breaking some bones. The story made local headlines. After several weeks of hospitalization, the boy was formally adopted by the cook, and he later became the star of an ameteur movie. He was recognized in the coming years as a talented artist. While his indentity, art, and other details of his life were lost in the ravages of World War II, he is believed to have been put to death by the government of Nazi Germany. retirado da Wikipedia.
