«É um Livro» is the children's picture book by Lane Smith, published by Editorial Presença in hardcover (40 pages, in Portuguese).
A donkey with his laptop asks a monkey what a book can do: does it send messages, write blogs, have wifi, tweet? To each question, the monkey says no and shows him what the book does offer. A story with humor and irony about two ways of seeing the world, the digital and the printed, told through the dialogue between two animal characters.
First Portuguese edition (2011) of It's a Book; the original work won the Goodreads Choice Award 2010 in the picture books category.
Recommended by the Plano Nacional de Leitura of Portugal for the first year of schooling; a reading suitable for all ages.
