GENTE, BICHO, PLANTA: O MUNDO ME ENCANTA

People, animals and plants: the world enchants me, by Ana Maria Machado, brings together three stories, neither big nor small, in the right measure – “The fight between air and land”, “A problem called coyote” and “From question to question”. Three intelligent, challenging and fun narratives, but they deal with very serious subjects – the balance between people, animals and plants, the cycle of life, the food chain and the importance and strength of the elements of nature… man has taken advantage of this to make everything better. But if you're not careful, everything gets much worse and ends up getting more complicated. If you spend it all, nothing remains. If we just destroy it, that's when it's no good. To dominate the air and the earth, living in peace without war, man has to protect plants and animals. Otherwise it ends up becoming rubbish.
