Little Zebra

Clumsy, smiling, lively, the family's darling... but this intrepid zebra has a serious problem to solve: a lack of friends. Apart from Potrosinha, her toy horse, Zebrosinha's only option is to find solace in the wise words of her old uncle Sitiosa. To finally make new friends, Zebrosinha invents a dance called Pinotinho. And when it's time to introduce Pinotinho at school, in front of all the other farm animals, Zebrosinha not only performs the dance but also surprises everyone—and even himself—with an irresistible boldness that changes her life and, why not, the lives of many others! A book that teaches readers young and old to have the courage to be happy no matter what others think. • "With the delicacy of banal things, Bruna's poetry breaks the placidity of certainties." The words of critic José Castello about Rua da padaria, a book of poems published in 2013, are a good clue as to what can be found in Zebrosinha, Bruna Beber's first work for children.
