===Brazil=== <!-- [[WP:NFCC]] violation: [[File:Sitio-characters.jpg|200px|thumb|The major characters of Brazilian writer Monteiro Lobato's works, illustrated by Manoel Victor Filho.]] --> In Brazil, [[Monteiro Lobato]]<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://lobato.globo.com/ |title=MONTEIRO LOBATO |access-date=2017-01-13 |archive-date=2015-04-25 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150425023720/http://lobato.globo.com/ |url-status=live }}</ref> wrote a series of 23 books for children known as [[Sítio do Picapau Amarelo (novel series)|Sítio do Picapau Amarelo]] (The Yellow Woodpecker Ranch), between 1920 and 1940. The series is considered representative of Brazilian children's literature and the Brazilian equivalent to children's classics such as [[C. S. Lewis]], ''[[The Chronicles of Narnia]]'' and [[L. Frank Baum]]'s ''[[The Wonderful Wizard of Oz]]'' series.{{according to whom|date=January 2017}} The concept was introduced in Monteiro Lobato's 1920 short story "A Menina do Narizinho Arrebitado", and was later republished as the first chapter of "Reinações de Narizinho", which is the first novel of the series.{{citation needed|date=January 2017}} The main setting is the "Sítio do Picapau Amarelo", where a boy (Pedrinho), a girl (Narizinho) and their living and thinking anthropomorphic toys enjoy exploring adventures in fantasy, discovery and learning. On several occasions, they leave the ranch to explore other worlds such as [[Neverland]], the mythological [[Ancient Greece]], an underwater world known as "Reino das Águas Claras" (Clear Waters Kingdom), and even the outer space. The "Sítio" is often symbolized by the character of [[Emilia (Sítio do Picapau Amarelo)|Emília]], Lobato's most famous creation.{{citation needed|date=January 2017}}
