Illustrated book that invites to talk about the history of Argentina and rethink the configurations of identity. This book addresses a topic that is usually invisible: the presence and contribution of Afro-descendants in this country. And he does it in a sensitive way, recounting a day in the life of an enslaved girl during the years before the independence of the Spanish colonies in America. But the precision of the historical reference does not prevent this book from reaching a universal dimension.

The beautiful illustrations in vibrant colours recover images from the archaeological and historical records in Santa Fe, Argentina (ceramics found in Arroyo Leyes; references to period clothing according to social class; children's games from colonial times; coexistence between enslaved African groups and native populations, etc.). This historical-anthropological reconstruction supports a sensitive story according to the child reader, in which a day in the life of an enslaved girl, Rosalía, is told, without low blows and with a prose full of poetry. The text challenges the reader and, from the display of images and evocations, introduces them to a world that is now far away but with many points of contact. A book to think, to feel and to reflect.
