A minha mãe vira bicho
Stefania Magalhães
Mother turns into an animal, did you know? There are things that only our mother knows how to do. It seems magical. As soon as a child needs something, the mother does everything to help! He may be lost or in danger. It could be fear, sleepiness, or hunger. It could just be a need for comfort. What matters is that there are things that only our mother understands. And she comes like an animal. You can notice, it happens in your home too. Sometimes she’s an eagle, sometimes a lioness, but she can also be a giraffe, a dolphin, and even a kangaroo.
“My Mom Turns into an Animal” is a cheerful, colorful, and charming story to show, with everyday scenes, how this phenomenon of protection and care from mothers to their offspring happens. And to make this reading even more fun, how about remembering or guessing where these animals can be found?
Tempo de reacender estrelas
Virginie Grimaldi
Anna is 37 years old, separated from her husband, and debts keep piling up. She juggles to maintain her job as a waitress in a restaurant and support her daughters, Chloé and Lily, whom she only sees at breakfast.
Chloé is 17 years old, a teenager full of dreams on the verge of giving up on them. It’s through her blog that we get to know her plans and disillusionments better. Lily, 12 years old, is having troubles at school, and the only ones who know about it are Marcel, her diary, and her little mouse, named after her father, Mathias, who jumped ship when she was 5 years old.
When Anna realizes that her daughters are not doing well, she makes an unexpected decision: to take them on a motorhome trip to the Scandinavian countries to see the Northern Lights.
An emotional story about family relationships, the encounters and disconnections of generations, and, above all, about love.
