This is a very special book to me. When I lived in New York, I used to work through some lone spots listening to Luís Correia Carmelo‘s book Contantinas. When Oriana Alves from Boca invited me to make Luis new book it was a tremendous yes. The audiobook that is also a performance is composed of riddles, tongue twisters, tales and cumulative stories set to music, sometimes sung, sometimes recited, to the sound of the diatonic accordion, percussion and other acoustic instruments. The illustrations of this book were awarded by The Society of Illustrators NY. You can see the book trailer here and buy the book here.
