The Yellow Ball

Bernardo P. Carvalho & Daniel Fehr

Searching for a missing ball, Luís and Luísa dive behind the scenes of this book which doubles up as a tennis court.

The adventure will take them through all kinds of different territories, prompting them to turn the pages backwards and forwards as they follow the clues.

And what about the readers?

Well, in order for the story (and the game) to reach its end, they will have to play their part too. Wish them luck!

With illustrations by Bernardo P. Carvalho this hilarious book puts the book-object at the heart of the action.

 

Press voices

“The yellow ball is an example of when a good idea (by Daniel Fehr) meets successful implementation. Here you can see the multiple graphic and stylistic languages of Bernardo P. Carvalho, without their identity being lost in the colours, movements and shapes.” Rita Pimenta, Público newspaper

“The multitude of characters and settings, as well as the many ways to move through the book, are emphasised by the varying aesthetic of the lively illustrations. This intelligently conceived book is simply fun and inspires one to join the characters as they discover this amazing book-world.” White Ravens Catalogue

“Readers will have to literally dive in the book, squeezing through the folds or jumping from page to page until they find the yellow ball. But it’s much more than that. It’s an exciting challenge, with a hilarious ending/restart.” Hipopótamos na Lua blog
