Migrants. Issa Watanabe.
In Portuguese, 40 pages, 23 x 23 cm, color, hardcover, 2020. The Joie de lire.
A large group of anthropomorphic animals marches in the dark forest. With backpack on their backs and suitcases in hand, they move to an unknown destination. From the sad and tired expressions it is immediately clear that this is not a pleasure trip. A little on the sidelines, there is Death who accompanies them, wearing a floral robe and traveling on the back of a beautiful blue bird. He waits patiently for the first victim of migration. Illustrations with powerful colors stand out against the black background and convey intense emotions to the reader, without having to resort to words.
