O menino que não cabia na caixa (The boy who didn't fit in the box, in free translation) is a book about empathy and unconditional love, made for those who have ever felt they didn't fit into the molds imposed by society. It talks about accepting differences without judgment, being who you are, and letting others be.

We have two stories that meet each other in the middle of the book. On one side is an autistic boy who refuses to enter the box. On the other, we know a fluffy therapy dog whose eyes only see the beauties of the soul.
