Dear Sea

Senhor Mar

André Carrilho

Bertrand Editora | june 2022 | 48 pages | 21, 5 x 27 cm | hardcover

A little girl tries to understand the sea in all its complexity, mystery and strength, advised by her parents to respect it. She eventually comes to realize that we are all insignificant in front of this old and vast entity and bear responsibility to protect it. “Respect” can mean lots of different things at once, including friendship and admiration.

A  text with a unique rhythm, beautifully illustrated by André Carilho, which continues the story of THE GIRL WITH OCCUPIED EYES, winner of the Portuguese Illustration Prize 2020.
