Guaraja, a remote village in the Brazilian rain forest, is the home of Bom Jesus, a cat well known in the village. In this village we are introduced to Adao, Paulo, and Mariquinha. Each of their stories is woven with the wild beauty of the jungle, and the quiet customs of the people of Bom Jesus' village. The reader is drawn in by the mystical stories in this small village where Bom Jesus roams freely.
