And, finally, my book is out!

It’s called Godô dança. Godô is short for Godofredo and dança means dances. It’s a children’s book. The story is about dog considered to be lame and boring until we discover that it… dances! Dança is the first book of at least ten, each about a different action, such as cooking, spying, etc.

The godofredo.org site (portuguese only) has a blog about animals, activities pdfs, a glossary of terms used in the book and a gallery section with photos and/or artwork from readers.

The book is already distributed nationwide (Brazil) and can be found in all the major bookstores.

Its ISBN is 978-85-204-3103-0 and the publisher is Editora Manole.

Both story and illustrations (and design) are mine.

The illustrations are vector over acrylic paint and/or china ink.
