The light is big
(Portuguese edition)
At first we babble. We repeat syllables, then words, then whole sentences.
All from a desire to interact and also because we want things.
Suddenly, something truly magical happens: we put different words together and make a new construction. We’re no longer imitating nor repeating. We’re saying something about what’s around us.
These are our first sentences, precious and unrepeatable. What do they say about us? More importantly: what do they say about the world?
Welcome to this book, filled with whole sentences that someone said for the first time.
This book is part of the Mini-micro collection.

What they say
Clearly aimed at small children, with illustrations which cherish the elements, this book doesn’t adhere to a comparatist, logic-based approach based around opposites. The freedom that it celebrates with its choice of statements, all based around an idea of being this or that, echoes the spontaneity and value of discovery.
