Wandering around
(Portuguese edition)
The boy in this book often goes out for a stroll with his grandfather.
It’s not about a walk in the company of each other, but something quite different.
The grandfather always walks on ahead, engrossed in his own affairs; the boy skips along behind, busy taking in all that comes across his path. Whether it’s mounds of sand or stones, worms or puddles of rain, everything is interesting, everything is a reason to stop in wonder.

What they say
Isabel Minhós Martins manages to capture the essence of childish obsessions (…) and to build an internal path that is accompanied by Madalena Matoso’s illustrations, offering lines, signs, traces and points of reference, as if on a map. (…) Planeta Tangerina made a powerful debut in 2009. Wandering Around is good for the imagination.
Carla Maia de Almeida, LER magazine, July 2009
