Abstract
Abstract: José Saramago, Nobel Prize in Literature, is the author of a statement that provokes adult readers: “What if children’s stories become mandatory Reading for adults? Would they really learn what they’ve been teaching for so long?”.1 It is in this context that literary texts dedicated to children have been used at times in medical education and clinical practice to bring up often invisible subjectivities.
Keywords: Juvenile Literature; Education Medical; Heart.
