"Do you know my friend? He has long, colorful hair. He makes funny noises, TRIC-TRIC-TRI. He warms me when I feel cold or miss someone."
A great friend warms our heart. Even if, sometimes, they can be a bit hot-tempered... How does such an important element like fire affect daily life? In this work, created by writer Leo Cunha and illustrator Weberson Santiago, the character is a great friend who warms our hearts, transforms objects, and lights the way. Through their adventures, we can recognize the importance of this element.
