A chegada de Pudim: projeto gráfico de livro para uma melhor relação entre crianças e cães

Abstract

This project was made to make it possible for children who have difficulties interacting with dogs (whether due to exaggerated fear or joy) to understand them better and, therefore, to have a finer relationship with them inside and outside the house. The design method chosen to solve this problem was the creation of an illustrated children's book that had an educational narrative with a more practical part, where they would get the chance to develop toys to interact with the animals. Thus, through in-depth research on the history of dogs with humans and the advantages of maintaining this coexistence and the second stage of studies on the evolution of children's books inside and outside Brazil and its importance in the education of children, it was possible to get, as a result, a book with striking illustrations, a simple but didactic

narrative and attractive and fun tasks, turning something that younger people would usually see as tiring or an obligation into a pleasant learning experience. It is concluded that, developing a publication with an educational focus on this relationship, there is a possibility to create a connection of empathy and respect between the reader and the dogs, resulting in a better understanding of some of the feelings of these animals and, therefore, the ability to treat them properly.
