it's Orelhinha
Orelhinha is not a hero. Nor is he a villain. Sometimes he's brave, sometimes he's terrified. And, yes... he can be all of that at once. Some people think he's a bit of an asshole. Others say he's bland. Some like him precisely because he's sweet, a bit naive, a bit distracted. And that's okay. Orelhinha isn't trying to gain likes, labels, trophies, or applause. He doesn't deny what people say about him. He simply lives. He acts, makes mistakes, tries to understand, observes, and deals with what life puts in his path. So, reader, don't expect anything more than that. Don't create outlandish expectations. This story doesn't promise superpowers. But whether you're rich or poor, Indian, American, Chinese—or just yourself—Orelhinha will enjoy learning about your reasons, your desires, and your knowledge. He will listen to everything. And he will choose only what makes sense to him, without trying to prevent you from choosing what makes sense for your life. Because choosing is important. But it's not always possible to choose everything. Sometimes, all you can do is accept, take a deep breath, and do the best you can with what you have. And that, surprisingly, is already a lot.
It's Medoca
Medoca
As the name suggests, Medoca is afraid. Afraid of almost everything.
It could be a cockroach, the rain, a strange noise… or even a tiny ant that seems to be staring too much.
On their face, drops of sweat appear uninvited. And, if you have a very attentive ear, you might hear a discreet tick-tock, tick-tock: it's Medoca's teeth chattering, trying to decide whether to run away, hide, or find courage.
Medoca is not weak or foolish. They just feel everything very quickly.
And, sometimes, that's exactly where the greatest courage is born.
"Have you read the book? Tell me what you thought!"
It's Nina
Nina is a girl with high self-esteem. She's almost always ready for anything, active, confident, and full of energy. She likes to take a stand, knows what she wants, and isn't afraid to try. Sometimes she makes mistakes, of course, but that doesn't diminish her desire to move forward. Nina believes in herself—and that makes all the difference when things get tough.
It's confusing
Confuso lives up to his name. A pair of socks could be in the fridge and he probably wouldn't even notice. His spiraling eyes only reinforce his somewhat lost, somewhat distracted manner, which is his trademark.
It's Grudy
Grudy is a needy boy who latches onto friends or anything moving nearby. He never takes off his hat. At least not yet; in hundreds of stories, it still hasn't happened.
It's envy
Ears, yes, Ears, also transforms like any normal boy when he sees something that makes him feel an envy that's hard to hold back. That's when Giant Envy appears, acting without permission, with an eye bigger than his forehead and a great desire to compare everything with everyone.
it's Lucky
Lucky is a gossipy parrot. She lives here and there, always hidden in almost invisible corners. She wants to know everything — and almost always does. The problem is that facts change quickly when they pass through her beak. And beware: Lucky has a pirate parrot who is head over heels for her and does everything to try to win her over.
It's 10 - Life or Death
Life and Death are no longer as they were in grandma's time. Now they show that small things die every second — ideas, desires, moments. And who decides whether something lives or dies is not just Orelhinha, it's you too. Killing time, killing desires, giving up on trying, all of this comes into play. So, stay tuned to discover the secrets of how to truly live and not die of boredom.
é2 - Mind Castle
The Mind Castle is where Orelhinha goes whenever something difficult to solve appears. He taps his forehead twice, says “knock, knock,” and enters his own mind. Inside live the Telencephalon, the Insula, and other counselor friends, who talk, think together, and help Orelhinha until, suddenly, a beautiful Eureka! emerges.
e9- Armadillo- Subway
Tatú-Metrô is the underground world. A subway frequented by animals, scholars, protectors, and defenders, who created conditions for those who live below the surface or simply love journeys full of adventure and discoveries. It is there that hidden stories, unexpected paths, and ideas that only appear underground pass through.
é11 - Genetics Laboratory
In his genetics lab, Orelhinha dreams of building things that will make the world a better place. Nothing too grand, nothing impossible. With his friends and collaborators, he is always imagining, testing, and inventing new ideas, the kind that are born from curiosity and the desire to do things a little better than before.
é8 - Emotional Firefighter
Putting out fires with a cherry bubble hose, icy water of peace, and good enchantment techniques is part of the team's training. Every now and then the siren goes off: it could be during recess, on the school stairs, or in some hidden corner where an emotional fire starts. At these times, Cosquinha and Orelhinha are always ready.
é1 - Flora
Flora is that girl who falls in love with everything that has a scent, texture, and life. She likes flowers that almost no one notices, tiny insects, the touch of leaves, and the smell of the forest after the rain. Flora cares because she likes to, because she understands that caring is also a way of learning. Curious by nature, she observes, asks questions, experiments, and wants to know more and more about the forest. For her, learning never tires, especially when the forest is the subject.
is 7 - Emotions Traffic Light
Now, think of a traffic light. Yes, a literal traffic light. But one that pretends to be human. It truly believes it came into the world to organize emotional traffic. No cars, honking, or lane markings. Its job is different. It manages the timing of things: the right time to fulfill desires, the anger that wants to explode, the loves that accelerate too fast, and the heartbreaks that need to brake. Some people use the Traffic Light as a friend, trust it, and ask it before acting. Others detest it, find it annoying, bossy… but, deep down, they admit: it’s useful. The Curatorship accepted the Traffic Light even though it’s not exactly “human.” After all, it has legs, arms, and very expressive eyes — green, yellow, and red. And sometimes, just by looking at it, you can tell if it’s better to go, wait, or stop for a bit.
It's Toto
Totó is a collaborative robot who loves to fish, gets a little jealous of Cosquinha, and is also a transformer. He knows how to camouflage himself like a chameleon and never shows all that he can do at once. Have you thought about what he is capable of doing? You have? Well, think a little more.
It's ticklish
Cosquinha is a golden dog of the Golden Retriever breed, with curious eyes and a giant heart. He belongs to the Orelhinha universe and is, at the same time, a faithful companion, a silent confidant, and an emotional mirror for children.
Cosquinha dreams of being human. Not to stop being a dog, but to better understand human feelings: why people hide what they feel, say "it's okay" when it's not, or fight when, in reality, they just need a hug. This desire makes him especially attentive to gestures, silences, and changes in mood.
Affectionate by nature, Cosquinha communicates more through his body than through words. A tail that wags slowly, a snout that gently nudges, a timely lie down beside you. He teaches that listening is not just hearing, it's being present. When Orelhinha is confused inside, Cosquinha is the first to notice.
In Orelhinha Park, Cosquinha represents:
empathy without judgment
unconditional acceptance
emotional intelligence born from affection
He doesn't solve problems, he doesn't give long lectures. Cosquinha simply stays. And, by staying, he helps everything to organize itself within.
Mommy and Daddy
Mami
Mami is Orelhinha's mother. Affectionate, attentive, and deeply present, she believes that educating begins by listening to what the child feels, before correcting what they do. Her voice is gentle yet firm; her gaze embraces without invading. Mami helps Orelhinha to name emotions, to understand that feeling anger, fear, or sadness is not wrong — what's wrong is not knowing what to do with those feelings.
She teaches with questions, not sermons. When something goes wrong, Mami doesn't react hastily: she breathes, observes, and guides. She represents emotional education through connection, showing that emotional security is the foundation for healthy development.
Mami symbolizes:
- active listening
- emotional embracing
- authority that cares, not imposes
Papi
Papi is Orelhinha's father. Calm, observant, and consistent, he shows that educating also means setting boundaries with respect. Papi helps Orelhinha transform emotions into responsible attitudes, explaining the consequences of choices and encouraging emotional autonomy.
He doesn't minimize feelings, but helps organize them. When Orelhinha is confused or agitated, Papi is the one who brings clarity: he helps separate what is emotion from what is action. His presence conveys confidence and stability.
Papi symbolizes:
- the balance between affection and limits
- emotional responsibility
- the silent example that educates
Mami and Papi together
As protagonists of various stories, Mami and Papi form a couple who educate by daily example. They show that emotional education is not about perfection, but consistency, dialogue, and repair. They make mistakes, talk, adjust, and move forward together.
In Orelhinha's world, Mami and Papi represent the adult a child needs:
someone who cares, guides, and believes that every emotion can be understood and transformed.
