Capital by Afonso Cruz
Award-winning Portuguese artist Afonso Cruz brings us this satirical, wordless, cautionary tale about the power of capital. A boy is given a piggy bank, and grows up feeding it coins as it sits on his bedside table. The piggy bank begins to grow as the boy becomes a man, filled with amazing profits. However, as the years go by, its greediness becomes harder to control, until soon it's become an out-of-proportion, unstoppable menace.Afonso Cruz is a multi-award-winning author and illustrator from Portugal.

He is the author of a dozen works, for which he has received the Camilo Castelo Branco Grand Prize, the European Union Prize for Literary, and the Portuguese Society for Writers Literature Award.
