Where's Babu?

Leiturinha, 2025

Where’s Babu? is an interactive lift-the-flap board book created especially for very young children. Through a simple and engaging narrative, the book gently introduces little readers to the world of human emotions, encouraging them to identify and name what they feel.

In the story, Babu gets separated from his friends during a forest adventure, and the child is invited to help find him by lifting flaps and uncovering emotions like fear, surprise, sadness, and joy.

With vibrant illustrations, surprise elements, and expressive characters, Where’s Babu? offers a playful yet meaningful way to support emotional development in early childhood.

This is my first fully authorial title — a project I conceived, wrote, and illustrated — and it was published in partnership with Leiturinha, the largest children’s book subscription club in Brazil.
