Gavião/ Hawk

"Bruna has a hawk at home. It lies in wait, watching for her to return from school. The hawk has the entire sky to itself, yet what it loves most is circling above Bruna."

This book offers a powerful and sensitive narrative that gives voice to the anguish of children who do not feel safe in their own homes, while also shedding light on the educator’s role in recognizing changes in students’ behavior as early warning signs. It invites parents, educators, and society as a whole to focus on protecting children and ensuring their rights under all circumstances.

The Little Emperor / Pequeño Emperador

What is motherhood like when desire becomes routine? In this powerful picture book, Sara Bertrand explores the contrasts of parenting through the story of a queen who, after asking the fairies for a child, finds herself trapped within the walls of her own castle and overwhelmed by the rhythms of daily life. As the mother retreats into silence and duty, the fairies of the forest accompany the growth of the “little emperor,” endowing him with gifts such as joy and curiosity. With expressive illustrations by Mariana Massarani, the book approaches, with poetry and sensitivity, subjects that invite dialogue between children and adults, including pregnancy, motherhood, and the first months of life.
