What a dance. What a lark!

(Portuguese edition)

This is a book.

This crown, this ark,
this newborn baby,

this trembling pot
made to pass from hand to hand,
this map where fingers roam,
leaving their print

of all shapes and sizes
of all times and places.

What a lark!

This book is part of the Round Corners collection.

What they say

We’ve already roamed around there. (…) In the words, which make us feel at home, and in the illustrations which challenge us, page after page, to dive into the book. A wonderful homage to the act of reading and to books, to all they can offer their readers.
