This book was written by the late João Paulo Cotrim, charismatic figure and head of the publishing house Abysmo. In his sensational loose style, full of poetry and magic, he takes us on a trip through a universe of little mundane things, through the eyes of a child. I dare say, his rebellious and forever unsatisfied inner child. It starts with question: Why do they give me this when all I want is that. Couldn’t ask for a better premisse to create whimsical images full of meaning. Also this book was created as fundraiser for APCC which is an association that helps and cares for children in need.
