Cássio spends much of his school day outside, and he especially likes learning to grow vegetables in the school garden. He and his friend push each other home from school in Cássios carrinho ("barrow"), stopping to buy their favorite sweets (doce-de-leite) on the way. When it comes to the evening meal, his mother always cooks extra so that there will be enough if friends or family want to come. Cássios Day is the latest in the acclaimed series A Childs Day, a collection of photographic information books concentrating on the daily lives and experiences of children in countries around the world, published in association with Oxfam.
