I wrote these books, now published as “Bedtime Stories From The Azores”, when my daughter Helena was born, because I wanted to pass down to her the special and simple moments I’d lived in my childhood and which I felt were disapearing. The Azores are a magical, pure evergreen natural wonder. We humans change things too much and too fast. But we can remember and share what we lived so that things won’t be spoiled by future generations. There is so much to teach and learn in telling a child a story and fables are such a fun way to do it. Come share these stories with us.

Childhood stories are wonderful and small animals are always adorable and part of children’s lives, especially when our children have the privilege of contacting with nature regularly or when they are raised in rural areas. These are stories from my childhood, memories of how life was in The Azores when I was raised. They were written by me twenty-two years ago to read to my daughter Helena when she was born. The idea of writing these fables came to me out of a need I felt of passing down to her the way of life and daily household rituals so interlinked with nature which I was sure would soon end with the arrival of civilization, such as baking bread in the lava stone ovens or washing the laundry in the rocky bottom rivers to make the most of Nature’s gifts – it’s wonderful and pure resources. I shared moments like these with my mother, grandmother and aunt, the strong women who have inspired my life. I hope you and your children discover a little about The Azores and enjoy these stories as much as we did and still do.

Have you ever imagined what it was like to live in The Azores when you were a child? These are memories of my childhood turned into children's bedtime stories.

We had time to think about others..Come take a look!
