SACI, A ORIGEM

Everyone has heard of the boy with one leg, who goes around with his red hat and a pipe playing tricks on people. But how did Saci Pererê come about? And how did he lose his leg and learn to move around using a whirlpool? In this book, Ilan Brenman tells the origins of this folkloric figure so beloved among Brazilians and challenges a foreign illustrator to create his own version of Saci.
