While we’re growing up, we learn something new every day. An emotion, a joke, a sound, a flavour. One day we dive, the next day we discover a new place. Sometimes we win, sometimes we lose. In this adventure of being and growing, every experience counts.

On this book, Madalena Matoso’s illustrations dialogue with words by Ana Pessoa, bringing us closer to those moments when we focus on growing up and taking new steps. Whether they’re historical milestones (like those written in books) or more subtle achievements, those moments are equally important. What they all have in common is the determination, rhythm, energy and resilience that one needs to grow up. “I am. I can. I bring. I king. I ping. I pong.”

Come along, to discover this poem that never stops growing.
