Leonel (Leonel)

Written by Lo Cole

Leonel is a charming Portuguese children’s picture book for ages 3+ that celebrates individuality, self-confidence, and the joy of being yourself. Leonel, a huge blue rhinoceros, loves to play and have fun, but sometimes he’s so big that he barely fits on the pages and even gets in the way. Throughout the story, Leonel and his friends discover that his size is actually his greatest strength, making this a delightful tale about embracing who you are.

The title translates to “Leonel” in English.

Ideal for children aged 3+, this book is especially well suited to bilingual families, Portuguese-speaking households, and Portuguese language learners in Australia.

Publisher’s description / Descrição em Português

A única coisa maior que o Leonel, um rinoceronte azul e enorme, é o seu entusiasmo! Ele quer brincar e divertir-se mas é tão grande que quase não cabe nas páginas deste livro e, às vezes, acaba por atrapalhar. Mas ele e todos os seus amigos vão perceber que, afinal, o seu tamanho é a sua melhor característica.
