Stories of Mama Bear, by Kitty Crowther,
80 pp, colour, hardcover, text in Portuguese, ORFEU MINI COLLECTION, 16.5 x 19.6 cm,
Three stories to fall asleep.
It's time to go to sleep and the little bear asks his mom to tell him three stories.
From them comes the guardian of the night, with her gong that puts the forest to sleep; Zhora, the girl who dreams of discovering a large dark blue blackberry; and Bo, who dives into the great sea in search of poem-stones. And everyone ends up finding the star that will guide them to the dawn.
Recovering the imagery of Nordic folktales, these are stories told and illustrated in a naïve way by Kitty Crowther, always on a pink background , as all dreams should be.
