About the book
This is how the boy who is the protagonist of this book tells us about the transformations and preparations that occur in his house in the month that titles this book, and is known for its parties all over Brazil. For him, February announces the preparations for one of Bahia most important Bloco, or street party group: Filhos de Gandhy (Gandhy’s sons).
Curiosity, discovery, flavors, smells and colors are part of the stitching by author Carol Fernandes to show us the beauty of this tradition.
The book is dedicated to Gilberto Gil, an artist who is essential to Brazilian culture and inseparable from the current history of Filhos de Gandhy.

About Fine Art Printing
These are those created with techniques and materials that use the most rigorous criteria today to achieve an impression with museum longevity.
The papers are 100% cotton. The inks, which are made of mineral pigments, are not soluble in water, therefore they do not fade. And the color fidelity, by using RGB, is much greater than common printing.
A work printed in fine art, therefore, deserves to be signed and numbered, and can last a lifetime.
