True Colours

Troca-Tintas

Gonçalo Viana

Orfeu Negro | november 2019 | 40 Pages | 21,5 x 28 cm | hardcover

Once upon a time there were two friends, an orange dog, a white tree and a green… cloud? Hold on! This book is wrong!

TRUE COLOURS is a funny and visually poetic story about freedom and an upside down journey through surrealist landscapes where rain falls from trees and clouds bear fruit. An eccentric book that invites us to paint the world in many tones and colours.

    Kirkus Review
  • «A zinging picturebook that playfully invites readers to subvert the expected and imagine the world in different colours. It has a vintage 1950s circus-y flavour with a fresh, distinctive, bold look which is impressively accomplished for a debut."»
