Take your seats, the show is about to begin.
Can art perform magic and show the invisible? Be careful!
Because art messes things up and, before the curtain falls,
a metamorphosis will be accomplished, turning a child
into an eloquent, magical cicada.

Here comes the third volume of the series dedicated to the great feminist thinkers for girls and boys. After Virginia Woolf and Simone De Beauvoir, it is the turn of the Nobel Prize for literature Toni Morrison, African-American author of The bluest Eye and Who has more courage? The ant or the cicada?.
Through elements of her biography and bibliography (such as the volumes cited) the book tells her thoughts to kids with understandable and appealing language.

Like the other books, we are not in front of a biography, but the illustrated thought of the great writer, narrated with the words of Serena Ballista and the precious images of Anna Forlati.

A child Toni attends a puppet show that tells a story set in the land of insects, where a cicada is determined to break the patterns of the great Bug party in which she is engaged as an entertainer by the industrious «blue-eyed ants». But the cicada decides to accomplish the unthinkable: it changes the program and takes to talk about the «removed», of the things that nobody wants to see, that nobody has «neither time nor heart to feel», that is of the racism that reigns in their community.
As in a game of mirrors the puppet show reflects the artistic work of the future writer, enthusiastic participant of the large audience!
