THE BOTTLE (A garrafa)

Patricia Auerbach

Brinque-Book, 2018

Picture Book (2 to 6 years-old), 36 pages

At first glance it looked like an empty bottle and

nothing more. It took only a closer look to see how

many games were there! In this picture book, the

plastic bottle left in the kitchen sink becomes an

object of observation through the eyes of a very

curious child - as every child is. Car, rocket,

megaphone, elephant trunk and rabbit ears are some

of the possibilities that multiply when, in the

recyclable trash can, several other bottles are found.

Can things give birth to other things? If you look

closely, with that childlike curiosity, the answer is yes!

Patricia Auerbach was born in São Paulo, in 1978. She studied Architecture, has worked as an art director and taught History of Art. Today, she teaches Art for kids at school, writes and illustrates books.

THE 10 NOT-QUITE-ADVANTAGES OF DYING AFTER YOU (As dezvantagens de

morrer depois de você)

Fernanda de Castro e Lima

Verus, May 2019

Young Adult Novel

Months after her best friend’s death, Gabriela finally gathers the

courage to take up a challenge Julia set up for her. She would

finally read the ten secret wishes her friend left for her in colorful

envelopes.

On an idle afternoon, not long before the accident that took Julia’s

life, the friends playfully decided that each should draw a list of

ten wishes the other would have to fulfill in case one of them died.

Each wish was placed into a numbered envelope. Reluctantly,

Gabi now had to deal with the consequences of her friend’s

choices. Each envelope was a new challenge. And with each new

challenge, a transformation. Fulfilling the wishes made Gabi feel

somehow connected to Julia, but it also deepened her anguish over her childhood friend’s

absence.

At the beginning of the book, seventeen-year-old Gabriela is parachuting. It was the first of

Julia’s wishes. A new envelope could only be opened once the previous wish had been

fulfilled.

The story explores the main character’s internal conflicts, having to deal with mourning

while experiencing situations that force her out of her comfort zone and fill her with joy.

Her feelings are a mix of sadness, anger, happiness and guilt. After parachuting, Gabriela

will have to take dance classes, to hug strangers on the street, go to another country for a

tattoo and sing in front of a large crowd, among other dares carefully (and purposely)

imagined by Julia.

Fernanda de Castro Lima was born in Santo André, in the greater São Paulo. Originally a

radio broadcaster, she also worked as producer and copy editor for many TV networks,

including TV Cultura, Band, MTV Brasil, SBT and Globonews, and as an image researcher for

Abril Publishing House. She is currently a TV screenwriter and a writer. Selected by the

"FNAC New Talents of Literature" writing contest, her first short story was published in

2014. As dezvantagens de morrer depois de você is her first teen novel.

THE DAY AFTER THE BREAK-UP (O dia depois do fora)

Laura Conrado

Bertrand, August 2019

Young Adult Novel

“Break-ups are democratic. They happen regardless of

faith, gender, or race. It does not matter how educated you

are, whether you commute walking or just bought ‘the car

of the year.’ It reaches you and shakes your foundations.

Getting ditched makes you world’s most typical woman, or

maybe the worst one. I’m just like any other woman in the

suburbs. And like all the ones living in fancy urban condos

alike. We have all been given the brush-off—we have all

survived it.”

What if you were doomed to live the day after the break-

up over and over again?

Melissa, a twenty-three-year-old undergraduate dentistry student mysteriously relives the

chaotic Sunday after Fred brakes up with her. With a quite special help, different from

anything she had ever seen, Melissa faces the time loop spell to get rid of it, once she learns

the lessons from each repetition.

Laura Conrado is the 2012 Jovem Brasileiro Award winner. Young adult fiction author, she

wrote the acclaimed novels Freud, Help Me Out Here!, I Always Fall for the Wrong Guy,

Shakespeare and Them, When Saturn Is Back, and Hooked in Myself Laura Conrado is

celebrated by readers and by the Brazilian media for addressing deep topics in a fun way.

Her writing is representative of the yearnings of a generation of young adult women and

addresses important issues such as emerging adulthood and women’s empowerment.

Antonio Prata

Illustrated by Talita Hoffmann

Ubu, February 2019

Picture Book (3 to 8 years-old), 48 pages

Lina likes a lot of things, but what she likes best is to bathe.

One day, she proposes to her parents to live in the shower.

But how would that be? In a very serious and, at the same

time, very funny, the family imagines a life in the shower:

how are you going to sleep? How are you going to eat? How

are you going to school? The parents want to get her out of

the shower and she has a thousand arguments to stay.

Suitable for children 3 to 8 years old, The Girl Who Lived In

The Shower entertains while discussing important childhood themes. The surreal and

colorful illustrations of Talita Hoffmann awaken the fantasy.

written for the magazine Capricho and the newspaper O Estado

de S. Paulo, as well as writing TV series for Globo, HBO, MTV and

SOMEWHERE OUT THERE (Em algum lugar do mundo)

Anna Cláudia Ramos

Illustrated by Jacobo Muñiz

Editora do Brasil, November 2018

Picture Book (5-8 years-old), 40 pages

Right at this moment, somewhere out there, a child is thinking

about what goes on inside people’s bodies, inside their houses,

their families, their schools, the places they live in. Thinking

creative thoughts and looking for scientific, emotional,

innovative, interesting and crazy ideas. Wouldn’t it be cool to get

a glimpse of these thoughts? This book is just that: a peek into

some of these young wanderings. A true celebration of all

children, of their genius, their multiple voices, desires, dreams

and aspirations, and of how inspiring they can be.

"I hope readers everywhere will dive into Somewhere out there"

Mergulho Literário

"Somewhere in Rio de Janeiro, there is a writer named Anna Claudia, who translates into words

the joys, sorrows, hopes, fears and fantasies of all the children of the world"

Antonio Schimeneck

"Anna Claudia Ramos is one of today’s most creative writers. Her books have enchanted

children and adults alike because they talk to young readers, in a poetic and accessible

language, about feelings and anxieties everyone can relate to."

Vera Teixeira Aguiar, literary critic

THE COURAGE OF SIMPLE THINGS (A coragem das coisas simples)

Stella Maris Rezende

Illustrated by Laurent Cardon

Editora Globo, 2015

Middle grade (8 -12 years-old)

Winner of the Jabuti award for best children’s author of 2014,

Stella Maris Rezende tells the story of a seamstress’ son who,

while helping his mother, listens to people talk about their lives.

Known to costumers as Sweety, he sews their buttons, brings

them water and coffee, and pays attention to each person’s way of

speaking and of repeating favorite expressions: there’s Mrs.

Imagine that!, Mr. Be at ease, Miss Live and learn.

Sweety loves to catch on to the simple or common words that

people make a habit of repeating, whether in his mom’s sewing

room or in his classroom. Little by little the boy becomes a collector of words brought into

his life by other people – common expressions that are nevertheless rich with mysteries and

surprises. In this book, Stella Maris Rezende explores the strength and magic of simple

things, capable of enchanting us by their sheer humanity and courage.

“Stella Maris Rezende is an important writer, one of our best in the unquestionably tough

category of children’s books. She masters with ease and skill both theme and style: what she

says and how she says it. She can blend emotion, humor and insights in equal measure -

alongside gentleness, simplicity and depth"

Tatiana Belinky, writer and literary critic.

Stella Maris Rezende is from the town of Dores do Indaiá in the Brazilian state of Minas

Gerais. She has a Master’s in Brazilian Literature from the University of Brasília, and is a

designer, singer, writer and actress. She has published dozens of books for both adult and

young readers. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, she played the Bluestar Fairy in the

television series Carrossel on the TV Manchete/Brasília channel, and Aunt Stella on the

programme Recreio on TV Record/Brasília. She spent part of her childhood in the city of

Belo Horizonte, moved to Brasília in 1962, and since 2007 has lived in Rio de Janeiro.

RIGHTS OF THE LITTLE READER (Direitos do pequeno leitor)

Patricia Auerbach

Illustrated by Odilon Moraes

Companhia das Letrinhas, 2017

Picture Book (5 to 12 years-old), 48 pages

When it comes to books and reading, adults have

guaranteed rights – they can read whatever they want,

when they want. But what about young readers? The ones

who are just beginning to explore books: what are their

rights? They can be the main character of a story, play with

their favourite heroes, re-read a short story as many times

as they want, or even give up reading a book half way

through. This book was created to guarantee that all

children are aware of all these rights and others, and so it

will be easier to ensure they are respected.

A manifesto in defence of allowing children to read without restrictions or obligations: from

giving up reading a book half way through to taking inspiration from a character in a story

to create their own adventures. Everything is permitted when it comes to developing our

young readers.

Patricia Auerbach was born in São Paulo, in 1978. She studied Architecture, has worked as an art director and taught History of Art. Today, she teaches Art for kids at school, writes and illustrates books.

MALALA, THE GIRL WHO WANTED TO GO TO SCHOOL (Malala, a menina que queria ir para escolar)

Adriana Carranca Illustrated by Bruna Assis Companhia das Letrinhas, 2015 Middle grade (8 to 12 years-old) 96 pages

This bestseller by Adriana Carranca sold more than 170,000

copies in Brazil

Malala Yousafzai became famous worldwide for her fight for the right

to an education. Raised in a peaceful region of Pakistan, she saw her

world change with the rise of the Taliban. Listening to music was now a

crime; women were not allowed to go to the market; and girls were

banned from school.

Malala had been taught to stand up for what she believed in and she

fought long and hard to continue studying, until, on October 9, 2012, it

almost cost her life. Malala was shot in the head as she rode the bus to school, and few believed

she would pull through.

Today, Malala is a living example of the power of peaceful protest and is the youngest-ever

winner of the Nobel Peace Prize. In this journalistic work for children, Adriana Carranca tells her

story, and those of the two other girls shot in 2012, drawing a historical/political/cultural

panorama of Swat, which she visited soon after the attacks.

"As well as telling a true story, a kind of topsy-turvy fairy tale in which the main character does

not want to get married but rather to study, the journalist Adriana Carranca, a special reporter

with the Estado de São Paulo newspaper, creates for children and teenagers a genre that up until

now has only been written for adults: the non-fiction novel".

Adriana Carranca is a special reporter for the Brazilian

newspaper O Estado de S. Paulo. She has extensively covered the

war in Afghanistan and important events in Pakistan, Iran,

Egypt, Israel, Palestine, Haiti, Mexico, USA, Great Britain,

Uganda, Congo, South Sudan.

A TRUE-BLUE IDEA (Uma ideia toda azul)

Marina Colasanti

Global, 1998

Fairytales (8+ years-old), 64 pages

A True-Blue Idea sold more than 200,000 copies

True-Blue Idea was born a classic. Not because it deals with the

traditional themes of short stories, or because its characters are

kings, princesses, unicorns and fairies, but because it explores an

inner realm that is timeless.

In this book Marina Colasanti, one of Brazil’s leading writers for

children and young readers, breathes new life into a world that

seemed as if it had nothing novel to offer, transforming it with her

words, and creating something fresh from the familiar.

A True-Blue Idea is not only a book for children. Like the tales of Grimm or Andersen, in their

original versions, it also has deep meanings for older readers.

Marina Colasanti was born in the former Italian colony

of Eritrea in 1937. As a child, her family moved back to

Italy, from where they emigrated to Brazil after the end

of World War II. She is one of the most awarded female

Brazilian writers, author of about 40 books, including

works for children and young adults, short stories,

novels, and essays. Graduated in Fine Arts, she

illustrates most of her books. Marina is also a renowned

translator from English, French, and Italian.

Marina Colasanti won the Iberoamericano SM Prize for Children and YA Literature, 2017

A KING WITHOUT MAJESTY (Um rei sem majestade)

Adriana Lisboa

Illustrated by Lucia Brandão

Rocco Pequenos Leitores, 2018

Picture Book (5 to 8 years old), 32 pages

In her new children’s book, the award-winning writer Adriana

Lisboa introduces a poem that invites young readers to experience

a new vision of the world. Via an inventive poetic game, the author

creates metaphors to define a variety of everyday situations. The

verses become almost a mantra, or even a rap to be said out loud,

with claps on the beat.

To further enrich this book, the illustrator Lúcia Brandão has

designed images that create new metaphors based on those

suggested by the author. In a colour palette full of strong contrasts,

the artist leads the reader to become increasingly involved in the density of the poem.

A King without Majesty can be read in many different ways by young readers, parents and

teachers, which facilitates the mediation process, whether at home or in the classroom. The

poetic game imagined by Adriana Lisboa and Lúcia Brandão’s illustrations creates an

essential work for broadening children’s horizons.

Adriana Lisboa was born in Rio de Janeiro.

A novelist, poet and short story writer, she

is the author of the novels Sinfonia em

branco (Symphony in White, José Saramago

Prize), Azul corvo (Crow Blue, one of The

Independent newspaper’s books of the

year) and Hanói (Hanoi, one of the Brazilian

newspaper O Globo’s books of the year),

amongst other works. In the realm of

children’s literature, she made her debut

with Língua de trapos, which won the FNLIJ’s breakthrough author prize. Her books have

been translated in over twenty countries. Her poems and short stories have been published

in magazines such as Modern Poetry in Translation and Granta. She has lived in France and

New Zealand, and currently resides in the USA.

DEAD DRAGON’S PARTY (A festa do dragão morto)

Santiago Nazarian

Illustrated by Rogério Coelho

Melhoramentos, 2018

Middle grade (5 to 8 years old), 40 páginas

A Dragon has been killed! And even though the Village could feel

free and celebrate, they desperately want to thank their Saviour.

So, when men, women, children and elderly travel through the

woods to meet him, they may find a shocking surprise. “Dead

Dragon’s Party” is a cynical fairytale by one of the strongest voices

of Brazilian literature, to children of all ages.

"Nazarian writes too well, he knows how to create characters and has an audacious,

fascinating style.”

Marcelo Rubens Paiva, Folha de SP

“A young writer who deals with hate and rancour with a poetic force I have never previously

encountered in a Brazilian novel."

Beatriz Bracher, Bravo!

“One of the best prose writers to have emerged at the turn of the century.”

Nelson de Oliveira, Estado De SP

“One of the most interesting voices among the most recent writers to have emerged in the 21st

century.”

Marçal Aquino, Folha de SP

“We are dealing with a great talent here.”

“A landmark in contemporary prose writing.”

Miguel Sanches Neto, Carta Capital

Sanriago Nazarian was born in São Paulo in 1977, from an

Armenian family, and has become one of the main writers of the

00 generation, with nine books published by the biggest

publishing houses in Brazil. His literary project is oddly known

as bizarre existentialism, mixing classic literary concepts and

existential ideas with horror, black humour and pop culture. He

has rights sold to cinema and his novels and short stories were

translated to Spanish, Italian, Serbian, German, English and

Hungarian. In 2007, he was selected by the Hay Festival as one of

the 39 highest profile Latin American writers under the age of 39

(“Bogotá 39”).
