“A new classic” from its birth, according to illustrator and researcher Roger Mello, the book “What Mommy Doesn’t Know” pays homage to works and authors that have influenced the artist (as well as the majority of his readers, I would venture to say).

It is the classics that Rodrigo Andrade introduces to play with little Bento at home. But what classics are these, and how can one relate to them? The protagonist’s friends include famous characters such as the Three Little Pigs, Captain Hook and Roger Mello’s Griso. The Genie of the Lamp, the Little Prince and many other unforgettable characters have not been left out from this fun experience. They all jump on the sofa in the blue house and play until Bento's mother returns. 

By imbuing the world of children's literature with affection, Rodrigo also pays homage to reading as a transformative practice and a means of strengthening bonds.
