Follow the arrow!
(Portuguese edition)
A city of signs, directions and mandatory turns.
A boy who lives amongst the arrows, never daring to stray from his path.
And a revolutionary idea that invades his thoughts, one day making him venture off piste…
For those who like to travel to unchartered territories and who are not afraid of getting lost.

What they say
A parable about the control and constraints that society exercises over Man, the central idea offered up by this narrative is that of the irreverance of a child’s gaze, defending the freedom to tread one’s own path and to discover the world around us. (…) The illustrations, with a strong visual impact, expressively recreate the controlling city of arrows, perfectly complementing the text.
Ana Margarida Ramos, Casa da Leitura
Isabel Minhós Martins invites younger readers to roam around. She seems to like inspiring disobedience of absurd impositions. For the first time, she joins hands with the Chilean illustrator Andrés Sandoval. Beautiful choice.
