It's Orelhinha
Little Ear is no 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 a jerk. Others say he's bland. Some like him precisely because he's sweet, a little naive, a little distracted. And that's perfectly fine.
Little Ear isn't trying to gain likes, labels, or applause. He simply lives. He acts, he errs, he tries to understand, and he lives with whatever life throws his way.
Don't expect superpowers. But whether you're rich or poor, wherever you're from — Little Ear will want to know your reasons and your wisdom. He will listen to everything and choose only what makes sense to him.
Because choosing is important. But sometimes all you can do is accept, take a deep breath, and do your best with what you have. And that, surprisingly enough, is already a lot.
is - Mind Castle
The Mind Castle is where Orelhinha goes whenever something difficult arises.
He taps his forehead twice, makes a "tap, tap" sound, 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! appears.
is Medoca
Medoca is afraid. Afraid of almost everything — cockroaches, rain, strange noises... or even a tiny ant.
Sweat beads appear on his face. If you listen closely, you might hear a faint *tick-tock*: it's Medoca's teeth chattering.
Medoca isn't weak. He feels everything very quickly. And that's where his greatest courage comes from.
It's Nina
Nina is a girl with high self-esteem. She is 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 that somewhat lost, somewhat distracted manner that is his trademark.
It's Grudy
Grudy is a needy boy who sticks to his friends or anything moving nearby.
He never takes off his cap. At least not yet, in hundreds of stories, that still hasn't happened.
It's envy
Orelhinha, yes, Orelhinha, also transforms like any normal boy when he sees something that makes him terribly envious.
That's when Giant Envy appears, acting without asking permission, with an eye bigger than its forehead and a great desire to compare everything with everyone.
It's Toto
Totó is a collaborative robot who loves fishing, gets a little jealous of Cosquinha, and is also a transformer.
He can camouflage himself like a chameleon and never shows everything he can do all at once.
Have you thought about what he's capable of? You have? Well, think a little more.
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 and win her over.
is - Life or Death
Life and Death are no longer like in Grandma's time. Now they show that small things die every second — ideas, desires, moments.
And who decides if something lives or dies isn't just the Orelhinha, it's you too. Killing time, killing desires, giving up on trying, all this comes into play.
So, stay tuned to discover the secrets of how to truly live and not die of boredom.
is- Armadillo- Subway
The Armadillo-Metro is the underground world. A subway frequently used by animals, scholars, protectors, and defenders, who created conditions for those who live below the surface or simply love adventurous journeys and discoveries.
It's where hidden stories, unexpected paths, and ideas that only appear underground pass through.
é - Genetics Laboratory
In his genetics lab, Orelhinha dreams of building things that will make the world a better place. Nothing too grand, nothing impossible.
Together 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 a little better than before.
Emotional Firefighter
Putting out fires with a cherry bubble hose, peace-infused ice water, and good enchanting 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 is starting.
At these times, Cosquinha and Orelhinha are always ready.
is - Flora
Flora is that girl who falls in love with everything that has a smell, 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 gets tiring, especially when the forest is the subject.
is - Emotions Traffic Light
Now, think of a traffic light. Yes, a literal traffic light. But one that fancies itself human. It truly believes it was put on Earth to organize emotional traffic.
No cars, horns, or lanes on the road. 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 demand a stop.
Some people use the Traffic Light as a friend, trust it, and ask for its advice before acting. Others detest it, find it annoying, bossy… but deep down, they admit: it's useful.
And sometimes, just by looking at it, you can tell whether it's better to go, wait, or pause for a bit.
é-Mami e Papi
Todo mundo que cuida de uma criança já ficou sem saber o que dizer. A Mami e o Papi também ficam. Eles são os pais do Orelhinha, e não sabem tudo: chegam perto, escutam, dizem o que pensam e ficam.
Mami
A Mami acolhe pela presença.Senta perto, deixa um espaço, faz uma pergunta pequena e espera. Guarda lembranças da própria infância e as oferece como espelho, nunca como lição.Quando o Orelhinha precisa ouvir um "não", ela diz com a voz baixa e sem deixar de ser carinhosa.
Papi
O Papi acolhe fazendo junto. Anda ao lado, arruma a bike, chuta uma bola e pergunta: "Quer companhia ou quer silêncio?". Deixa a própria emoção aparecer e admite quando erra. Quando é hora de pôr limite, é firme e breve, e o carinho continua à vista.
O que você vai ver nas histórias
Nas histórias, Mami e Papi não dão sermão. O afeto aparece em gestos pequenos, um de cada vez. A firmeza também: eles dizem o limite em uma frase, combinam uma consequência e voltam depois para conversar. O Orelhinha aprende vendo, e quem lê aprende junto.
Para você que cuida
Mami e Papi mostram jeitos de acolher e de pôr limite que você pode adaptar à sua casa e ao seu filho. São inspirados em ideias do desenvolvimento infantil, como as de Daniel Siegel e Tina Payne Bryson em "O Cérebro da Criança". Não são regras, e cada família tem o seu ritmo.
Um aviso importante
Mami e Papi são personagens. Não
substituem psicólogo, médico ou escola. Se o seu filho está sofrendo muito, ou há muito tempo, procure um profissional de confiança.
