The plan to leave her small town in Rio Grande do Norte to try a new life in São Paulo is affected by an unexpected event. Now, Nisia will have to face one of the most significant changes in her life as she adapts to a metropolis. As if that weren't enough, the girl does not feel welcomed in her new school. When children make fun of her, she begins to see herself differently. Or better yet: to listen to herself in an entirely different way.

The authors
Ana Carolina Marinho was born in Natal (RN) and moved to São Paulo (SP) in 2011. She is an actress, screenwriter, and director in both theater and cinema, as well as a founding member of the Coletivo Estopô Balaio, where, for over a decade, she has developed an artistic residency in the Jardim Romano neighborhood, in the periphery of São Paulo. Nísia is her first literary venture. She grew up immersed in lakes, ponds, rivers, and seas, with the Carcará Lagoon being her favorite place in the world. In her childhood dream, she never imagined leaving home so soon. Although she feels increasingly "at home" in São Paulo, someone always asks her where she is from.
