Six books. Six different ways of making the page speak.
A selection of projects that represent recurring questions in Daniel Kondo’s work: how a book moves, how an image creates time, how design becomes narrative and how a reader participates in meaning.
The Big Bad Wolf with a Toothache
Lobo Mau com Dor de Dente · Daniel Kondo
The physical book gradually becomes the wolf’s mouth. Page turn, scale, repetition and humor make handling the object part of the story.
Eletricista
Augusto Massi + Daniel Kondo
A child observes his father’s work as an electrician. Lines, points of light and empty spaces transform everyday technical gestures into visual poetry.
Refloresta
Gilberto Gil + Daniel Kondo
A song becomes a visual narrative about forest, biodiversity, destruction and regeneration. Refloresta was selected for The White Ravens 2026 by the International Youth Library in Munich.
Sonhozzz
Silvana Tavano + Daniel Kondo
A sensory journey into the territory of dreams, built through framing, cuts, pauses and page turns. Winner of the 2022 Prêmio Jabuti for Children’s Literature.
Desembarcados
Guilherme Gontijo Flores + Daniel Kondo
A visual and poetic procession of extinct and disappearing beings, where naming, repetition and graphic transformation turn absence into presence.
Andar com Fé
Gilberto Gil + Daniel Kondo
An iconic Brazilian song translated into image, sequence and page. Visual metamorphosis opens the lyrics to multiple readings of faith, memory and movement.
