Created by Leo Cunha and Tino Freitas, both award-winning authors with extensive careers in children’s literature, Turning the Page is built on a unique collaborative concept: each story was started by one author and finished by the other. The same creative process applies to the artwork, with illustrators Caco Galhardo, one of Brazil’s best-known cartoonists, and Leonardo Yorka sharing visual authorship. This dual perspective gives the book an unpredictable energy, making each narrative twist feel fresh and unexpected.

The book’s most distinctive feature lies in the interaction between text, illustration, and reader participation. Each story culminates in an illustrated “page turn” that visually delivers its resolution, while the final tale invites readers to create the ending themselves. Additional unfinished endings encourage children to invent entirely new stories, transforming them from readers into co-authors. Humor, visual storytelling, and creative writing come together in a highly engaging reading experience that celebrates imagination, resilience, and the ability to move forward when life demands a new page.
