Get ready to learn about the glorious deeds of the Yellow Woodpecker Order!
In a little Brazilian village live the dreamer Lucia and her brave brother Pedrinho. The best grandmas in the world, Dona Benta and Aunt Nastácia, make them corn porridge, fritters, and coffee in the mornings (yes, this is Brazil, after all!) and read them fairytales. The children have unusual friends: the grumpy but very resourceful doll Emília, the Viscount of Corncob, who knows everything in the world (even though he's made of a dried corn cob), and the gluttonous piglet Rabicó. Their lives are full of adventures: they get captured by the Monkey King, battle ferocious jaguars, and set a circus rhinoceros free. And in the time between their heroic feats, the group writes memoirs and throws grand balls!
For children aged 7-10.
