English:
My children were the source of inspiration
for this theme. I used to sing to them the traditional
song "Bicho Papao" and they always asked:
"Who and what is Bicho Papao"?
I was inspired to write about this monster because I
felt it could reach people of all ages and backgrounds,
specifically, all those who need courage to send "their
monsters" to the top of the roof, as the song teaches
us to do.
