Vestir sorrisos para viver domingos: memórias e afetos narrados no livro ilustrado A Avó Amarela.

Abstract

The talented work of young authors has been enriching brazilian children‟s literature, contributing to consolidate the participation of female authorship in the literary field, in a process that integrates a historical struggle of women to occupy spaces that, over a long time, were reserved exclusively for the male gender. Today, participating in the production of creative and surprising children's picture books, new writers and illustrators have been creating books that deal with varied and thought provoking themes and, through a very successful articulation between words and images, have been evaluated as very qualified and, therefore, awarded in important awards. In this text, we highlight the narrative A Avó Amarela, built from the memories and words of the narrator granddaughter Júlia Medeiros and illustrated with the drawings, paintings and collages of the artist Elisa Carareto, creators who, with a lot of poetry, sensitivity and talent, explain the quality and potential of female production in the universe of books for children and literature in general.
