Patocão - Children´s Book Illustration

"Patocão: A Aventura de falar em público" is a cheerful and inspiring children’s book, published by a distinguished publisher in Angola. The story follows Patocão — a lively blue duck — as he faces the challenge of speaking in front of his classmates for the very first time. I had the honor of creating all the illustrations and lettering for this project, bringing Patocão’s world to life with colorful, expressive, and playful visuals. Every page was designed to spark children’s imagination and help them connect emotionally with Patocão’s journey. Through this adventure, young readers learn about courage, self-confidence, and the importance of trying even when we feel nervous. It was a joy to contribute to this project, helping to tell a story that encourages children to believe in themselves and find their voice.
