We all do everything
(Portuguese edition)
We all do everything does away with words and functions like game. The illustrations show different characters – men, women, young and old – engaging in a wide range of activities.
Upon turning the separate parts of its split pages, readers can form different combinations and find all characters doing everything. And so, in this book at least, there is no prejudice or preconceived ideas. Everyone can do everything: grandparents go surfing, fathers hang the washing, mothers do odd jobs, everything happens naturally.
Resulting from a creativity contest launched by the municipality of Geneva, this book was originally published by Éditions Notari, and designed to promote equality between men and women.

What they say
A magnificent picture book which avoids the usual pitfalls of “books on difficult subjects” (…) Basing itself on the traditional méli-melo technique and dispensing with text, the strength of this book resides in its graphic impact and its intelligent purpose.
Sophie van der Liden, French specialist in Children’s literature
With an extremely well achieved graphic and chromatic approach, Madalena Matoso invites us to participate in this ludic exercise in broadening the mind: a spiral-bound book divided in two with scores and scores of possible combinations and an implicit question for the readers: and why not you? (…)
This book is more than a gift. It’s a step on the path to a fairer world.
Anna Castagnoli, illustrator and author of children’s books
