Hey there!

Ever since I was a little girl growing up in beautiful Brazil, I've been surrounded by art in all its forms: music, theater, writing, singing, and drawing. But there was one passion that stood out from the rest, and that was my love for writing. I couldn't help myself—I wrote songs, poems, plays, and so many stories.

I used to spend hours writing poems for my friends, crafting inspiring stories, and sending messages filled with encouragement and hope to those who needed it most. There's something magical about touching someone's heart with words, and that's a gift I've always wanted to share.

As an educator, I've always found immense joy in nurturing creativity and inspiring my students. We've embarked on countless storytelling adventures together, basking in the magic of those creative moments.

As I started sharing my creations with friends, family, and teachers, they all saw something special in my work. They encouraged me to take the leap and publish my writing for the world to see. It wasn't an easy decision, and it took me some time to gather the courage to pursue my dream.

So, here I am, finally taking that leap and sharing my words with you. I decided it was time to draw back the curtains on my own world of creation and share the gift of storytelling and more with a wider audience. And so, my first published book, "A Little Respect," was born. Writing it was an absolute delight, and it drew inspiration from my own daughter's journey through childhood, her insatiable curiosity, and her growth.

This book is just the beginning. I have a treasure trove of stories and ideas waiting to be shared with the world. I'm deeply grateful for the support of my friends, who have been a constant source of encouragement and inspiration on this incredible journey.

Life has truly blessed me with exciting opportunities, and I can't wait to see where this path leads.

Thank you for being a part of this adventure with me, and I look forward to sharing more of my work with you in the future!

Cheers,

Bernadete
