Beschreibung

Cléo is a girl like any other: she goes to school, has her friends, and lives with her family, but one morning something strange happens and she no longer feels the same. Displaced from her friends, she finds a true companion in Tom, a boy with crooked feet who is always apart from the others. Together, they embark on a huge adventure to help Pingo find her way home. But who really is Pingo? In the book "Cléo and the Mapinguari", the reader will find an adventure of alliance and friendship between a cuca, a curupira, and a mapinguari who, deep down, are children like all the others. YOU'D LIKE TO KNOW THAT... The book gives a leading role to characters from Brazilian folklore in an adventurous story full of feelings, which dialogues with contemporary children and is sure to hook the reader from start to finish! There is a worldwide movement in children's literature to rescue and re-signify characters from local folklore and culture, to stimulate the necessary cultural appropriation by children and young people. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT... This book is friendly to readers with dyslexia, as the font used is OpenDyslexic, making reading more enjoyable for everyone. WHY READ IT? This is an illustrated book whose characters go through various challenges and, together, try to overcome them. Friendship and overcoming are themes addressed, as well as the discovery of self and the other and the issue of bullying. THEMES: picture book, Brazilian folklore, saci-pererê, Brazilian legends.
