This essay analyzes the children’s literature book Olhos azuis coração vermelho [Blue eyes red heart] by Jane Tutikian (2005). Using concepts like individuation, bildungsroman, and rite of passage, the article discusses the manner in which the narrative presents the protagonist's (Julia) development through her relationship with her sister (Titi), who has Down syndrome. Employing theoretical postulates by Carl Gustav Jung, François Jost, Arnold van Gennep, among others, the essay analyzes the protagonist's journey in search of identity and the role that her conflicts with her younger sister play in this process.
