Lucas and the Capoeira Circle Reviews

* "Full of dynamic language set at a precise pace, Pastros cadenced prose builds up Lucas inner journey through the rush of initial excitement, anxieties of creeping dreads, and joys of eventual triumph. Similarly, Lopes superb artwork depicts the elegance of capoeira via larger-than-life stances and extravagant gestures, all shaded in warm colors.... A marvelous celebration of inner strength and courage." -- Kirkus Reviews, STARRED REVIEW * 8/1/24 *
"The text dives into the world of capoeira, attempting to capture the rhythms of its music and introducing plenty of terms that will be new to many readers.... Lopes provides further atmosphere through illustrations that capture the bold style and movement of the martial art. An authentic-looking (and -sounding) glimpse into capoeira." -- Booklist * 7/1/24 *
