Can I read this article for you?

Hello, today I
invite you to have a cup of tea with me, while I share with you some trivia
about "Poetic Animals" and encourage the reading of some poems from
the book.
I'll start by telling you a little about "Poetic Animals":
1 - It is a useful
book to motivate children and teenagers to read poetry. Later, during the
school journey, this motivation can prove very useful.
In fact, with the
help of teachers from Mem-Martins Basic School No. 1 and the children of
friends, it was possible to produce thirty-two audios with the reading of the poems by
children and teenagers, and the feedback was incredibly positive.
2 - It is a book
imbued with an environmental aspect, focused on the preservation of species,
each poem personifies at least one animal. The main characters are twenty
domestic and wild animals (Swallow, Butterfly, Dog, Sheep, Rabbit, Seagull,
Cockerel, Cat, Hyenas, Jackals and Vultures, Lion, Blackbird, Ducks, Peacocks,
Dove, Fox, Mouse, Reindeer, Frog, and Cow).
3 - It is a book
of poetry illustrated by different illustrators and artists, techniques, and
sensibilities. Who donated their talents for a worthy cause.
4 - It is a
solidary book thought and created to help children with cancer and their
families. It is never too much to say that this publication reverts to the
Acreditar Association, and that the first donation was already made during the
month of August 2022.
5 - This is the
first book published by M. ª Leonor Costa, creator of the Poesias da Nonô project. For those who don't know, Nonô is short for Leonor, and those who have
known me since I was a little girl, or are closer to me, have always called me
that.
6 - It is a book
that resulted from an ad-hoc synergy of twenty-two people, during the month of February
2021. In the middle of the confinement period. I leave here a deep thanks to
all of them.
7 - It is a very
current book that is hardly ever out of date. It was in the 91st and 92nd
Lisbon Book Fairs, in 2021 and 2022, respectively.

Oliveira and that I leave here for those who want to see or review.
9 - It's a book that had its launching session in person at El Corte Inglês - on September 27, 2021.

12 - It is a book published by Flamingo
Publishing.
I have thus highlighted twelve aspects and
curiosities about a book that gave me enormous pleasure to create and about
which I am incredibly pleased when I feel that people also like the book.
I will now read some poems (only by
watching the video you can see which ones they are).
"Poetic Animals" read at CCB
I leave here an extra bonus for those who want to watch. On October 7, 2022, Nonô, was reading three poems in the "Say a Poem" initiative conducted by the actor Eurico Lopes, at Centro Cultural de Belém. Within the possibilities, I recorded two videos of my interventions.
A Dream
I would also like
to share with you a dream I have concerning the book "Poetic
Animals", to get it translated into other languages and thus help even
more children.
That's all for today

I will return with a new article here on Nonô Poetry blog and next Friday, available from 6 am onwards, I hope to be able to count on you. Until then I will be daily on social media, Facebook Instagram Twitter Pinterest and TikTok since inspiring people is my mission!
On Fridays I also
usually update with videos on YouTube, TikTok and with an audio
"podcast" on Spotify's Anchor.
If this article
was helpful or inspiring in any way, I appreciate you sharing so that more people
can be inspired.
I say goodbye with our usual greeting "bye bye"!
