This book is calling you, can’t you hear it?
(Portuguese edition)
We all know that books have voices inside them. Some voices talk, some sing, some cry… and others whisper.
In this book, there is a whispering voice that insistently calls the readers, a voice that comes closer and moves away but seems intent on taking the readers somewhere.
Whose voice is it? And where will it take us?
To find out, we’ll have to pass through a forest, a river, a storm and follow all the clues left by the wayside.
In the end, we might reach the conclusion that great friends aren’t made in a flash. Trust and friendships take time and patience to develop…
Are you ready for this adventure?
This book is part of the Round Corners collection.

What they say
Daily novelties in the E-book sector might have made us forget something that the latest Planeta Tangerina book reminds us of: the interactivity between a book and its reader doesn’t require a touchscreen; paper can manage it too. This book is calling you, can’t you hear it by Isabel Minhós Martins and Madalena Matoso is a constant prompt to the reader in terms of what a book can offer.

It’s not enough to read the words with one’s eyes, or to leaf the pages with one’s fingers. We need to: type, press, drum, jump, watch, listen, smell, blow, walk, study, cuddle. And it works: for those who played “Snake” on their mobile phone and spend their lives sending emails, for those who recognise the echoes of Iela Mari or Hervé Tullet; for those who find a black-and-white page as enchanting as a full-colour one; for those who enjoy signs, patterns and stamps; for those for whom a smudge here and an imperfection there are intellingent and delicate art, this book will offer inspiration, irony and food for thought.
