Text: Itamar Assumpção | Paintings: Dalton Paula

Among the many artistic languages he explored all his life, the composer, singer and instrumentalist Itamar Assumpção also wrote children’s books. But nobody knew.

Man-Animal, Animal-Man is the first book of thecollection “Itamar for Children”. It is a fun, irreverent poem about animals that combines numbers, rhythm and unusual poetic image.

It talks about the increasingly more urgent preservation of the environment, but in his own unique way.
The book was illustrated by Dalton Paula, the famous Brazilian visual artist who investigates the influence of the African diaspora in the culture and history of his country, and is a fan of Itamar.
The text was edited by the poet Alice Ruiz S, a longtime friend and collaborator of the author.
