A menina com os olhos ocupados

André Carrilho

Bertrand Editora | July 2020 | 48 Pages | 21,5 x 27 cm | hardcover

A little girl never stops looking at her phone, not noticing a series of fantastic events around her. Even if a friendly bear wants to give her a hug, she doesn't stop looking at what she thinks is more alluring. Until one day... she discovers a wonderful world waiting for her!

Written and illustrated by the renowned André Carrilho, this is a story that encourages children to rethink their use of technology and to engage with immediate reality.
