O Jardim / the Garden

Ive never been a writer or an illustrator, although I have always loved to read and write. And I have always urged my daughter, from the very beginning, to cultivate the habit of reading. As a result, besides all the dolls and toys, her bedroom is full of books. But there was one book missing: one telling her story! I decided to tackle this in a simple and, at the same time, complicated manner. Simple because it would depend solely on me, and complicated because Id have to learn to draw. You have the result in your hands right now. The story of a garden. Maria Claras garden. Nunca fui escritora nem ilustradora, apesar de adorar ler e escrever. Fiz questo desde cedo de que minha filha cultivasse o hbito da leitura e, por essa razo, alm de bonecas e brinquedos, o quarto dela vive cheio de livros. Mas faltava um: a histria dela! Decidi resolver esse problema de uma forma ao mesmo tempo simples e complicada. Simples porque dependeria apenas de mim, e complicada porque eu teria de aprender a desenhar. O resultado voc tem agora em suas mos. A histria de um jardim. O jardim de Maria Clara.
