Reflexos de si mesmo: a materialidade do livro pinóquio: o livro das pequenas verdades.

Abstract

Noticing the growing expansion of illustrated books in Brazilian production, many awards have turned their attention to this type of book, awarding authors and illustrators who bring creativity, inventiveness and thus provide literary enjoyment. This is the case of the author and illustrator Alexandre Rampazo who, having 13 copyright titles and more than 70 illustrated for other authors, received important awards, such as the Jabuti Award and the FNLIJ. Thus, in this article, we dedicate ourselves to study the book Pinóquio: o livro das pequenas verdades (2019) as this is one of the most recent publications by the author to win renowned literary awards and receive highly recommended stamps. During the article, we show the characteristics that make this book not only a literary experience, but also a sensorial and imaginary one, using as a bibliographic base the studies of Linden (2011), Nikolajeva and Scott (2011) about the illustrated book, in addition to Rampazo himself.
