Sophie then comes up with an idea to put an end to their evil ways. With the help of BGA and the Queen of England… Now it’s your turn, read the book and discover the incredible ending to this story!

Which Hairstyle Should I Wear? (Com Qual Penteado Eu Vou?)

Kiusam de Oliveira – Ed. Melhoramentos

Lorenzo Z., Helena M., and Sophia V., 4th graders at Carandá School (Mirandópolis, SP)

This book tells the story of Aisha. She’s preparing for the birthday party of her great-grandfather, who has just turned 100. The book is quite interesting because it talks about the different hairstyles of Aisha’s cousins, who are Black and have curly, kinky hair. The message is that no matter what type of hair people have, everyone can wear it however they want. The illustrations are very colorful and highlight the beauty of the characters.

Pax (Pax)

This book is about a boy and a fox named Pax. At first, the reader might think the story will be boring and without much emotion. But the author has managed to transform the story into something unimaginable and unexpected. That’s why I really enjoyed the book. Also, the way it is written, anyone can read it easily and enjoy the story.
