My first book

Today I’ll talk about “A Peça que Faltava”.
That’s the name of my recently, and hopefully the first published book, as you can see it’s not in English, but in Portuguese, and I bet you can also tell it is a children’s book. 
         
“The Missing Piece” could be the title in English but I have to say that the meaning gets a little lost in translation.
I won’t try to explain it now.
Anyway, this is the synopsis: The sisters, Pepe, Re and Mila are not letting the bad weather ruin their vacation at grandma’s house. With a lot of imagination and creativity, and the help of unlikely new friends, they will turn those rainy days into a big show.
I wrote it about two years ago for a literary competition, and it is loosely based on experiences from my own childhood.
My dear, and talented friend Jessica Geraldeli did a wonderful job illustrating it.
I love the cover!
Hope you like it too!

  1. I'm looking foward to receiving the printed version of the book! I'm sure the story will make me smile, laugh and remember a lot of my own childhood! I love your texts, and I'm pretty sure this will be the first of many to come!
