HOMEM-BICHO BICHO-HOMEM (MAN-ANIMAL, ANIMAL-MAN)

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.

Homem-bicho Bicho-homem is the first book of the collection Itamar para Crianças (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.

O JABUTI NÃO TÁ NEM AÍ (THE TORTOISE DOESN'T CARE)

In the second book of the collection Itamar para Crianças (Itamar for Children), the composer, singer and instrumentalist Itamar Assumpção plays with the tortoises and with the funniest suppositions: what if the animal played the saxophone? Or drums? What if it paraded during Carnival? What if someone thought of taking the tortoise to church or to school?

With the well-thought-out rhymes and images that are characteristic of his songs, Itamar one again comes close to the universe of children through his enchantment with animals. O Jabuti não tá nem aí is a book about animals, of course, but it is also about respect for nature and the desire for peace. The book was illustrated by Dalton Paula, a famous Brazilian visual artist who investigates the influence of the African diaspora in the culture and history, and who is a fan of Itamar. The text was edited by the poet Alice Ruiz S., a long-time friend and collaborator of the author.
