Portrait of Alice Vieira created for the book Alice Vieira. Não Vale a Pena Explicar Tudo, part of the “História Natural do Livro” collection by Patológico publishing house. Alice Vieira and António Torrado, two of the most celebrated children’s literature authors in Portugal, are the first to open this new collection.
“História Natural do Livro” is a literary series dedicated to exploring the “small universe” required to create an illustrated book for children and young readers, from words to images, from intention to editorial gesture, tracing the process that shapes a literary object.
