Hardback, [PU: PLATAFORMA EDITORIAL], Momo, an orphaned Muslim boy, narrates his heartwarming tale of life with madam Rosa, an elderly Jewish Auschwitz survivor who cares after the children of prostitutes in her clandestine home in the Parisian slum of Belleville. Momo doesn't have anyone else in his life and, when he learns that madam Rosa is ill, he tries to battle the decrepitude that begins to consume the old prostitute. Through Momo's eyes, prematurely facing life's harshness, readers are submerged in the reflections of a child who talks about his world, racism, loneliness, and fear with a rare combination of humor, naivety, and sweetness. "Momo, un nino musulman huerfano, cuenta su estremecedora historia al lado de la senora Rosa, una anciana judia superviviente de Auschwitz que acoge a los hijos de las prostitutas en su pension clandestina en el suburbio parisino de Belleville. Momo no tiene a nadie en el mundo y, cuando se entera de que la senora Rosa padece una enfermedad, intenta luchar contra la decrepitud que va consumiendo a la vieja prostituta. A traves de la mirada de Momo, enfrentado prematuramente a la crudeza de la vida, el lector se sumerge en las reflexiones de un nino que habla de su mundo, del racismo, de la soledad y del miedo, con una rara mezcla de humor, ingenuidad y ternura.
