Written by Leo Cunha, whose work has received major distinctions including the Jabuti Prize and the White Ravens selection, the book approaches jealousy, empathy, and changing family dynamics with remarkable warmth and emotional intelligence. Rather than focusing on conflict, the story highlights a child’s ability to understand and care for the feelings of the adults around her.

Salmo Dansa’s illustrations add depth and originality to the narrative. Rich textures and expressive compositions are combined with visual references to pareidolia, the phenomenon of seeing familiar figures in unexpected forms. Throughout the book, the young protagonist recognizes her father in clouds, trees, and amusement park attractions, visually reinforcing their emotional bond despite physical distance. Text and image work together to create a nuanced and moving portrayal of love, longing, and belonging in contemporary families.
