Tudo o que eu quiser ser: proposta de projeto editorial e gráfico de um livro infantil

Abstract

The main objective of this experimental project is to explore the creation of literary text, as well as editorial and graphic projects for a children's book whose theme is: talents and professions. It also includes a proposal for presentation to a book publisher specialized in the children's book market. In such way, it includes the account of the creation of the story, the editorial production and the graphic production of this project is brought together, which, in turn, mainly covers the theoretical discussion about the importance of reading for people, especially children, based on Freire (1989), Meireles (1984), Caldin (2003), Ávila-Nóbrega e Mangueira (2021) and Nogueira (2020). Topics such as themes that provoke debates, dialogue and self-knowledge in children's books are highlighted on an editorial project which aims to stimulate debate and reflection on talents, gifts and professions narrated in an authorial story. The practical part of the project was based on studies on the production of children's books, according to Kohan (2013) and Santos (2022), and design studies, based on Lupton (2021), Haslam (2010), Lourenço (2011), White (2006) and Samara (2010). In the final considerations, we note the importance of children's literature for society and the need for the children's publishing segment to portray the most diverse themes so that dialogues are facilitated and expanded.
