New Releases by Slade Morrison

Em O livro das pessoas malvadas, a consagrada escritora Toni Morrison e seu filho Slade nos brindam com um olhar perspicaz e muito bem-humorado sobre a maneira como as crianças enxergam e lidam com a maldade: ela pode estar num sussurro ou num grito, num sorriso ou numa cara fechada, numa pergunta ou até numa resposta. Mas o que importa é que a maldade não pode mudar a maneira como encaramos a vida e o mundo. Afinal, o melhor antídoto para a maldade são a alegria, o otimismo e a gentileza! As ilustrações de Pascal Lemaître dão conta da sutileza do texto e ainda acrescentam novas camadas à leitura, como um bom livro ilustrado deve ser. E como todos os livros de Toni Morrison, esta obra é de rara riqueza e item imprescindível nas estantes das crianças pequenas. Esta edição conta ainda com um prefácio do pediatra e sanitarista Daniel Becker e um posfácio da escritora e educadora americana Jewell Parker Rhodes.

In our versions the original stories are opened up and their moralistic endings reimagined: the victim might not lose; the timid gets a chance to become strong; the fool can gain insight; the powerful may lose their grip. Anything can happen!
