The Collector of Heads Ana Matsusaki – 24 x 24 cm – 40 pages There are all sorts of collections in this world... Serious things, funny things, strange things. The sky is the limit! This collection, though, is somewhat... peculiar.

After all, it’s not every day that you find someone collecting heads, stories and memories. A humorous approach to death as a cultural occurrence.

Eww!

It Fits Just Right!

Rosinha – 18 x 18 cm – 32 pages

Andrea Viviana Taubman and Marcelo Pellegrino – Guto Lacaz 24 x 24 cm – 40 pages

When introduced to new things, children often say “Eww!” without even trying. Vegetables, fruits, meats… The character in this book is much the same. He rejects the food his mother offers, feeding them to a creature that eats them up and grows strong and tall. That makes him rethink his attitudes.

A handful is a pinch in the hand of a giant; a pinch is a lot if you are using pepper. Measures and portions, often subjective, are presented in this book in a very creative way, dealing with mathematical and geographical notions by playing with things we do in everyday life.

My World in the World’s Map Jonas Ribeiro – Sandra Jávera 24 x 24 cm – 32 pages The main character of this book is crazy about maps, loves the atlas she got from her grandfather and spends her time imagining all the different places around the world. Come explore different worlds, filled with diversity and beauty, and the endless possibilities they bring.

Each Home Matches Each One

I Feel What I Feel with Five Senses

The mouse has a lair, the bee makes a home in a hive, and the dog lives in the house. But, what about the frog?

Every creature has their own corner to call home, be it large, small, under a tree or within a pond. It doesn’t matter which. The most important thing is to feel as you belong.

Soft music and loud machine noises, rough and soft surfaces, chocolate and lemon on our tongue... A book about the different sensations all our five senses can capture, so that our small readers can learn and explore each one, discovering what they do and do not like.

Jabuti Prize shortlisted

Jabuti Prize shortlisted

If Seeds We Sow, Gardens and Orchards Will Grow In a garden, everything happens, and anything can grow. In an orchard, fruit trees are everywhere. Wings also abound: caterpillars turn into butterflies; bees pick pollen to make honey and birds fly everywhere! A fun way for the young reader to explore the fauna and flora.

Those Who Come and Go, Always Find the Way to Go There is no shortage of means of transportation, and we can choose which one to use based on where we want to go. With a ludic approach, this book shows the many ways we can come and go from one place to another, and the most appropriate types for each occasion.

Jabuti Prize shortlisted

For Each Smile, a Different Style There is a school in the middle of the forest that has all types of students… with both fur and feathers! Some have long necks; others have big noses. A fun book to teach kids about diversity, differences, and how to treat both humans and animals with respect.

5+ From Everyone Collection Telma Guimarães Light-hearted and humurous, the books of this collection bring engaging stories that deal with topics that are important for child development, such as differences, similarities, and respect for others. Written by renowed author Telma Guimarães and richly illustrated, each book brings a funny comic strip at the end.

Illustrations: Fabiana Salomão 21,5 x 25 cm – 32 pages

Raquel is the tallest girl in her class and thinks she can do whatever she wants. Luisa, however, is shorter, and can’t see anything when Raquel sits in front of her. This situation needs solving. With humor, this provocative book addresses topics such as stubbornness and empathy.

Saturday afternoons are for soccer.

Girls or boys, it doesn’t matter. The only one banned from the field is Cândido, just because he’s fat. The others ignore the fact that he is a great player. If only they’d give him a chance. A story about prejudices, diversity, empathy, and respect.

Every year, the school sponsors a talent show: there’s singing, dancing, juggling, magic or telling jokes... This year, though, the teacher had a crazy idea. Now the students’ skills will be tested! A stimulating narrative to challenge limits, labels, and personal difficulties.

How Do I Say?

Everyone Together

Etevildo’s Pajama Party

Illustrations: Luciano Tasso 17 x 24 cm – 32 pages

Illustrations: Evandro Marenda 17 x 24 cm – 40 pages

Illustrations: Gabriela Gil 21,5 x 25 cm – 40 pages

Leo and Helena have new neighbors and they talk funny. They come from a different part of the country, you see, and that’s why they talk so differently. It’s hard to understand them sometimes! A book about language and regionalities, and learning from our differences.

The geography teacher has realized that integrating four new foreign students to her class will be a challenge, since the other students find the newcomers funny. So, she proposes a project about other cultures to transform the students’ curiosity into learning and respect.

Instead of inviting his best friends to his pajama party, Etevildo decided to invite kids he would like to be friends with. A beautiful narrative about differences, friendships, breaking paradigms and being open to new opportunities.

Manuel Filho – Ana Matsusaki 24 x 24 cm – 40 pages

Marcelo Cipis 24 x 24 cm – 32 pages

Raquel Matsushita 24 x 24 cm – 40 pages

If you can’t see it, does that mean it doesn’t exist? And if you can almost see it, does that make it invisible? In this book, Manuel Filho and Ana Matsusaki use text and image to play a game of hide and seek with a man who is always almost there. A story of making friends in a fast-spinning world.

There is always someone we know who knows someone who happens to be the neighbor of our classmate.

This book talks about interpersonal relationships, how we connect and our own peculiarities using humor and universal themes, such as friendship and family.

The characters of this book are geometric shapes. They come to life to tell the story of two friends who are joined at the hip and do everything together, and their discovery that there’s always room for one more. A unique book of ludic visual language well worth reading.

Hary & Karimã – Two Dear Old Spirits of the Forest

Rogério Andrade Barbosa

Os povos indígenas brasileiros são numerosos, mas já foram muito mais quando eram os únicos a ocupar o território do nosso país. A tradição e a cultura desses nossos ancestrais enfrentam desafios constantes para se manter presentes fora das aldeias, por isso contar, recontar e publicar em livro suas histórias é uma forma de preservar essa enorme sabedoria.

Yaguarê Yamã, do povo sateré-mawé, e a ilustradora Wanessa Ribeiro, de ascendência guarani, nos apresentam aqui a lenda de dois bons velhinhos que, no final do ano, entregam presentes a todos ao longo do curso dos rios da Amazônia. Isso soa familiar, não? Que tal, então, conhecer um pouco mais de nossas raízes e repensar o que queremos para o futuro? Boa leitura!

OCUPAÇÃO

TÂNIA ALEXANDRE MARTINELLI

“Tantas vezes meu pai, minha mãe e eu nos víamos numa fila. Mas no início dela sempre estava a entrada de uma galeria, de um museu – a fome por arte versus a fome por alimento, pela subsistência. Eu nunca poderia imaginar, nem que tentasse, o que era não ter o que comer. A maioria das pessoas estava em pé, mas um dos que não estavam me chamou a atenção. Foi para ele que meus olhos me guiaram, desde que comecei a acompanhar a fila vinda de lá de trás, tentando adivinhar para que finalidade seria, quase para entrar naqueles espaço, estava um homem sentado na calçada, as costas e a cabeça apoiadas no muro, as pernas esticadas e semiabertas, envolvidas por um cobertor escuro, só que o pano não cobria totalmente as pernas, e seus pés – descalços – eram visíveis, essa manta, cobertor ou o que fosse não era grande o bastante para aconchegar o corpo todo.”

Tânia Alexandre Martinelli

Que lugar você ocupa no mundo? Sofia ocupa um lugar bastante confortável: vive em uma bela casa em condomínio fechado, sonha ser médica e tem diversos privilégios que não fazem parte da realidade de muitas pessoas que vivem na mesma cidade que ela: São Paulo, essa metrópole que para uns é sinônimo de oportunidades e, para outros, de luta e restrições.

Ao mesmo tempo que há quem escolha se fechar em um mundo de iguais, há quem busque usar seus privilégios para fazer a diferença.

One Bare Feet

Apreender a complexidade humana sob a aparente simplicidade das culturas populares não é tarefa das mais fáceis. Muitas obras naufragaram nessa travessia por expressarem o olhar de quem, hierarquizando os saberes, viu as culturas populares como uma forma reduzida do seu próprio conhecimento. Esse não é o caso de Penélope Martins, que se põe em diálogo com o pensamento-em-ação das benzedeiras, vozes relevantes de muitos grupos populares.

Ao fazer da visita de Marcela à casa da avó Esmeralda uma espécie de viagem dos Argonautas, a autora destece o fio das intrigas que tensionam a relação puer/senex e revela a atenção que, entre avó e neta, fundamenta o aprendizado mútuo. Entre assombros e descobertas, Esmeralda e Marcela sintetizam um encontro ritualizado que sutura as feridas pessoais e coletivas. Isso não impede, no entanto, que a narrativa denuncie a intolerância religiosa e as desigualdades entre as classes sociais. As agressões sofridas por Esmeralda, depositária de saberes de matriz africana, refletem um cenário fraturado para o qual ainda não encontramos a justa palavra da Justiça.

Pés descalços é um livro de práticas culturais que se encaixam e se recusam ao mesmo tempo. Para dar conta dessas possibilidades, a autora lançou mão da conversa como expansão do pensamento. As personagens passam de um assunto ao outro, expondo e ocultando sua cadeia de sentidos. A estrutura do livro acompanha esse fluxo. Cada um dos 12 capítulos é antecedido por uma reprodução do caderno de notas de Marcela, contendo informações sobre as plantas medicinais pertencentes à realidade de Esmeralda.

Essas notas funcionam como um receituário para os

A Sand Stairway to Heaven

The King of Amaurotum

Dilan Camargo – Nat Grego 15 x 20 cm – 152 pages

Flávia Côrtes – Lumina Pirilampus 15 x 20 cm – 112 pages

Life and its intrinsic and magnificent relationship with time: this is the motto of this book of short stories by award-winning Brazilian writer Dilan Camargo. Tomorrow, today and yesterday intertwine in an inviting and deeply reflective literary composition exploring dramas and situations from past, present and future in a surprising way. A different kind of time travel that will draw in the reader.

What would it be like to explore two different realities? On one side, Lucas, king of Amaurotum, an imaginary world he built to live. On the other, Anabel, his mother, and her big brown eyes, who tries to carefully enter her son’s world. Two perspectives on situations that involve a lot of effort, respect and courage; two views on Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD).

A sensitive, touching and charming text that makes readers root for this relationship and all its ups and downs.

Erased Land Cassiana Pizaia – Gustavo Piqueira 15 x 20 cm – 200 pages In a dystopian future, freedom and autonomy are increasingly limited and the planet is a dry and inhospitable place. The machines are in control. Books were burned and their digital versions were gradually erased. Even real places were erased from maps and from people’s memories. But the human spirit is resilient. Maya, our protagonist, is part of the resistance and does her best to preserve books, places and stories. A dangerous and exciting adventure to makes us rethink our present choices and their consequences for the future.
