It’s All So Big

Isabel Minhós Martins & Bernardo P. Carvalho

Why do we grow bigger and bigger?
Where do we get the will to grow?
Does it come from the longer days? The moons and tides?
From the sun? Or the vast mountain?

(What a mystery!)

Press voices

“There’s a time of the year when everything is growing: the days, the hours, the grass, the shadows. And freedom. That’s what It’s all so big, from Planeta Tangerina, is about.” Rita Pimenta, Público newspaper

“There’s summer in this book. There’s a long holiday in the poem. There’s time everywhere. And an overwhelming dimension to the rivers, mountains, water courses, tracks and trails, colours which intensify and blend in a movement on an ever greater scale. (…) Recovering the concept of ‘lire par coeur’, it’s a book which directly connects to emotion.” Andreia Brites, Blimunda magazine / Fundação Sararamago

“From the musicality of the words to the vibrations of the images, here, life is celebrated together with the grandiosity of Mother Nature’s cycles.” Raquel Silva, Timeout magazine
