Sandra Sofia Santos is part of a group of Portuguese artists selected by Livraria Lello to reinterpret literary classics for children. Her work on Alice stands out for its bold character design, expressive use of color, and a clear departure from the more delicate or surreal styles. Her Alice is a girl of action—curious, critical and full of life
The Livraria Lello’s The Little Collection Alice brings a fresh and empowering vision to Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Her Alice is not the fragile, wide-eyed girl of tradition, but a robust and spirited child, full of curiosity, wonder, and critical thinking. Santos’s illustrations reimagine Alice as a feminine strong figure, capable of navigating Wonderland with confidence and grace.

The book, adapted by Adélia Carvalho for younger readers, is designed for children aged 6 to 10 and features full-page illustrations with minimal text, making it ideal for read-aloud sessions or independent exploration.

This edition is available in Portuguese, English, Spanish, and French.
