ABOUT THE BOOK

Living in bunches, being alone, talking a lot, jumping around...

By reading the There are animals that... Series children learn about different animals and discover their preferences. They also learn a bit more about themselves. After all, every child likes..., every child is..., every child knows..., and every child has something on their own.

Readers of all ages will have fun exploring and immersing into the There are animals that... Series subtle information, lively illustrations, and poetic text. But children are our main audience. The book’s format, typology, colors and even text structure were particularly developed for this audience. At an early age, young readers learn that reading is fun and that learning how to read is an adventure.

ABOUT THE ILLUSTRATIONS

In order to provide grace and presence to each of the animals, simple materials such as gouache paint, brushes and paper were used in a very unique way: drawings were painted in bright colors over black paper. The black lines and scratches are, in fact, the black paper background that stands out from the colors brushed in each drawing.

ABOUT THE AUTHORS

TONI and LAÍSE RODRIGUES love animals as much as they love drawing and writing for children. When they are not writing and drawing, they work in art direction and illustration for newspapers, magazines and advertising agencies. They have two children and six dogs, and they live in a big house filled with books.
