OverviewSensitively illustrated to show how a child might see and relate to words before learning how to read.A child who has not yet learned how to read looks out at the world and sees language as such a child would: as lines and squiggles that don't exactly make pictures but don't seem to make anything else either. Then, when the child starts to go to school and begins to learn his letters, his way of seeing begins to change.

Table of ContentsReviewsIt's a smart, thoughtful chronicle of learning in action, and it would pair well with Sergio's Ruzzier's recent This Is Not a Picture Book! for discussions about how literacy transforms the unfamiliar into the known. Ages 3--6. (Nov.) -- Publishers Weekly Rocha's text is marvelously child-centered, never leaving Pedro's perspective and realistically evoking the way letter acquisition turns nonsense into sense for most children. Matoso's striking, posterlike illustrations use a limited palette of, mostly, red, pink, blue, black, and olive, allowing figures and patterns to occasionally merge with negative space, visually reinforcing the mental gymnastics involved in deciphering letters, her awareness of environmental print as keen as Pedro's. This will have many children looking for meaning all around them. -Kirkus Reviews It's a smart, thoughtful chronicle of learning in action, and it would pair well with Sergio's Ruzzier's recent This Is Not a Picture Book! for discussions about how literacy transforms the unfamiliar into the known. -Publishers Weekly A wonderful celebration of the way words work, and a reminder than reading is as much as about visual literacy as it is about text literacy. -Kids' Book Review A Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC) Choice Selection for 2017 A 2017 USBBY Outstanding International Book Author InformationMadalena Matoso is an award-winning illustrator from Lisbon, Portugal, whose quirky and graphically striking imagery saw her win Portugal's coveted National Prize of Illustration in 2008.
