A new printing in hardcover of Sandro Cleuzo's first children's picture book, set in the Brazilian jungle and featuring the indigenous people and animals.

Little Pitukin believed himself to be a brave hunter and decided to go hunting with his inseparable friend, Keeko the monkey. He had a really difficult time with smart squirrels, touchy toucans, giant snakes, and fast frogs...Maybe he could have more lucky catching a ferocious jaguar?

"Some people are asking me how I drew and painted my new book. I like to do it mostly traditional, with markers, pencil and pen and then I scan and do some finishing touches in Photoshop. But the drawings and most of the color are traditional."

Here is Sandro's autobiographical sketch:

I started working in animation on TV commercials from 1985 to 1990. In 1990 I went to Ireland to work at Don Bluth's studio as an Animator for four years until Don Bluth and the crew relocated to Phoenix, Arizona to start Fox Animation Studios. I re-joined them and worked on "Anastasia" for two years. After that I applied to Disney Feature Animation in Burbank and was hired to work on "Fantasia 2000". I was a Lead Animator on "The Emperor's New Groove", helped a little on "Tarzan" and became a Supervising Animator on "Home on the Range". I moved to Disney Florida to work on the, now shelved, production of "My People's". I moved back to Brazil working as a freelance 2D Animator on projects including Disney's "Enchanted", "Asterix and the Vikings", "Proud Family" and "Curious George". Since 2008, I have animated and sometimes character designed on "The Princess and the Frog", "Mary Poppins Returns" "Kubo", "Missing Link", "The Angry Birds Movie", "Klaus", "Fixed", and others.
