The books, "Eu posso ser ... o que eu quiser ser" and "Clube da Alegria," are the fruits of the extension project, BUILDING ONE’S OWN HISTORY: racism and representativeness of the black child in children's literature, with the promotion of the Program of Scholarships to Support Culture and Art - PROCARTE, whose registration number is 026.2.035-2017. The first book, tells the story of a black child who wanted to be a princess, but who in the face of the image and idealized behaviors of this figure, historically charged with stereotypes, is distressed to realize that his dream does not "fit" into the myth. The story was designed to be worked in a school of early childhood education, in this case, the CMEI of Bela Vista, located in a peripheral district of the city of Diamantina. The story was presented and told to the children of the five years of this institution, who, based on the questions asked by the main character of the book, were instigated to build their own story.
