“There are many ways to speak about A Doll for Menitinha,
but if I had to choose just one word it would be: wonder.”

Gabriela Romeu

This children’s novel is about three generations born in a place replete with stories. In this tale full of wonder and traditions, we accompany the girl Menitinha (A shorten word for Minha Netinha, or my granddaughter), and her grandma. The plot takes place among traditions from times past, river washerwomen’s songs, the smell of guava sweets and, at dawn, an enchanted hour.

A Doll for Menitinha, which was illustrated by artist Larissa de Souza, is a novel about affection, about our origins and about everything that cannot be explained, but can be really understood.
