Beautifully illustrated by Roger Mello with sophisticated, highly textural paper cut-outs, Charcoal Boys follows a young boy working in Brazil's charcoal industry. The boy's strength and resilience shine through the darkness in this moving condemnation of child labour.
Winner of the 2014 Hans Christian Andersen Award, Roger Mello has illustrated over 100 titles--22 of which he also wrote--and his unique style and adroit sense of color continues to push the boundaries of children's book illustration. Rather than relying on written narrative to tell the story, he invites his young readers to fill the gaps with imagination. Mello has won numerous awards for writing and illustration, including three Brazilian section of IBBY's Luís Jardim Awards, nine Concours Best Illustration Awards, and the Best Children's Book 2002 International Award.

He has also translated the work of José Luís Peixoto, Philippe Claudel, María Dueñas, José Saramago, Eduardo Halfon, Gonçalo M. Tavares and others. In 2017 Hahn won the International Dublin Literary Award for his translation of José Eduardo Agualusa's A General Theory of Oblivion.
