MORE INFORMATION

Histórias de Nonô

 

Nonô is a little girl who, through play, learns about life through daily interaction with her parents, grandparents, family, friends, schoolmates, animals and the natural world. She plays and spontaneously opens her imagination to the dimension of the marvelous which, because it is the world where the laws of nature are suspended, allows human beings to dream of all possibilities.

In these short stories, we are pleased to see the very special relationship with her grandparents. Nonô learns some of the most important things in life from them.

With their experience and the intensity of their affection, they enrich the existential journey of children who are just starting out. They are the best role models for them. It's good to meet them again in a book dedicated to the little ones, but which the older ones will also enjoy reading and where they can also learn a little more about how to deal with their children and grandchildren.
