The writer and professor, Vivaldo Andrade dos Santos, residing in Washington DC, launched his first book in English (Meskwaki and the President) about a red fox that goes to the White House to deliver a letter to the American president regarding the environmental issues that animals have been facing in the forest. “Meskwaki and the President” is the author’s second book and was inspired by an episode that occurred two years ago when a fox decided to live in the garden of the American First Lady during the Congressional shutdown that did not want to vote on the measures requested by President Barack Obama. The author states that “Meskwaki and the President” is a book that addresses ecological themes as well as introduces the reader to a bit of the culture of the American capital, where every American citizen, at some point in their life, comes to know its history.
Vivaldo began his degree in Literature in 1985 and graduated in 1988. A resident of the United States since 1991, the writer and professor, whenever possible, always visits Minas Gerais to see his family and friends, as well as visit schools and talk to the children who have adopted his first book “O Rato Que Roeu a Roupa do Rei” (Scipione, 2011). So far, the author has no expectation of when the book will be released in Brazil, but the book can be purchased online through the distributor’s website as a printed book or eBook: http://tinyurl.com/gv4e66e
