Summary "My Little Boy" by Carl Ewald, translated from the Danish by Alexander Teixeira de Mattos, is a collection of childhood reflections and anecdotes written in the early 20th century. The book captures the joys, curiosities, and challenges of a father as he navigates the early years of his son's life, exploring themes of innocence, growth, and the complexities of human nature. The narrative follows a father as he observes and interacts with his little boy, showcasing the child’s imaginative spirit and his journey from toddlerhood into the world of learning and societal norms. Through various episodes—the boy's first encounters with nature, his infectious curiosity about the world, and his developing social consciousness—the father reflects on the bittersweet transition from carefree childhood to the structured environment of school. A pivotal moment occurs as the father grapples with the implications of sending his son to school, representing a poignant shift in their relationship and the loss of the unfiltered joy of childhood, ultimately expressing the love and apprehension felt by a parent watching their child grow up.
