Super Giant

Ana Pessoa & Bernardo P. Carvalho

Edgar runs at full speed, to leave everything behind: family, school, friends. Today is the saddest day of his life, because his grandfather is gone, but also the happiest, since Joana kissed him for the first time. Running along with his thoughts and reflections, Edgar grows bigger and bigger and no longer fits inside his own body. He is a monster. He is a super giant.

 

Ana Pessoa, born in Lisbon in 1982, began writing stories at the age of 10 and finished her studies in Modern Languages and Literatures (Portuguese and German Studies) at the Faculty of Arts of the University of Lisbon. Since 2007, she lives in Brussels where she also works as a translator. Pessoa’s books, often illustrated by Bernardo P. Carvalho and Joana Estrela, have received several awards in Portugal as well as internationally.
