Contemplated by the Amazonas Creative Award, in 2021, the work brings an Amazonian theme to the children’s universe.

“I was able to work on my first Amazonian fable, which is why the book is a double milestone for me, it was when I started to pay more attention to the details of our reality and also because I started illustrating”,

“Mania de Ler is a project for which I am very fond, it is extremely necessary for our children and adolescents to have access to reading”, he says. “And not only that, but that they can talk to local authors so that they confirm that we can also make quality art”, highlights the writer.
