The book is a project developed in partnership between CRID with the coordination of professor Doctor Célia Sousa, the Boavista Kindergarten through educators Cristina André and Cristina Silva, and the Association of Parents and Guardians of the Boavista Kindergarten . Written by students from the Universidade Sénior da Marinha Grande, with illustrations made by children from the Boavista Kindergarten, it was translated and adapted into pictograms by professor Doctor Célia Sousa and the graphic design was carried out by Maurício Hilgert.
With the concept of a book for everyone, in a single copy it brings together enlarged text, Braille and embossed images for blind or visually impaired children, pictograms for children with intellectual disabilities or other limitations. It also has a QR code that takes you to the website where the audiobook and videobook versions in Portuguese Sign Language are available for deaf children: versões em audiolivro e videolivro . The book includes access to the song “Trem de Lata” and a set of activities that allow you to explore the story.
