A partnership between Estúdio Rebimboca, Labhacker and writer Paula Desgualdo, Quem manda aqui? (something like Who's the boss here?) is a book about politics – made with children for children – that was born as a crowdfunded project and ended up being published by one of Brazil's biggest and most prestigious publishers, Companhia das Letrinhas, in 2015, and by Zig Zag in Chile in 2017.
In the process of making the book, we made six workshops with children from 4 to 10 years old, where we discussed types of governments and decision making. Everything we heard and saw in these workshops was used as inspiration for the book, that has an online free available for download version in Portuguese only (for now), under CC BY-NC license. That means anyone can read, download, print, copy, modify and share its contents. The only thing that we ask for is not to sell or make money from it :)

Images from the workshops with children, where we asked them about who was the boss in different places, then had them draw the answers and made a book with the drawings that were picked according to different processes (by a chosen king or queen, elections and anarchy). The complete method for the workshops is available in Portuguese here.
