African Children Moonlight Tales

      Growing up in Guinea-Bissau in West Africa, it was rare for us to have electricity, not to mention television in the early 90s. There was no way that “Disney's fairytale dreams” could come true if you had never heard a “Disney tale” as a child.

We rely on our traditional folk tales, passed down from generation to generation by our ancestors. Every night we embark on a new adventure, discovering magical new lands to live in and explore.

  Sometimes during the cashew season, if we wanted to hear a nightly story, we would pick up cashew nuts all afternoon after school so we could give a kilogram to the person who agreed to tell the story that night as fare for each story told. This was my most magical moment, at sunset.

These stories still live within me and made me who I am today. As a mother, I was inspired to tell this and many other stories to my son, my daylight. I hope it can guide you to be brave, wise, kind, gentle and great in everything you do.

Guinea-Bissau

Building and empowering communities

This project main objective is to tackle and promote the lack and benefits of children's literature in Guinea-Bissau.

One-Book-at-Time

Guinea-Bissau is a small country in West Africa; sharing a border with Senegal and Guinea-Conakry.

As a born and raised Guinean, I can vouch, for I have a profound knowledge of the difficulty’s children are faced with in their daily life.

I believe with the right tool in the hand of any child; starting with “one-Book-at-time”. We can strive to improve and empower them to a greater future ahead. I started this project with “one-book-at-time” in the child’s hand.

I intend to write and sell, as many of my African Heritage Fairy tales’ stories that were once told to me by my parents and elders. This project is to help bring those children to a brighter and stronger future that they deserve.

Caixa Magica Infantil is counting on your support, by purchasing “one-Book-at-time” and any other items related in making this project possible. Your contribution will be highly appreciated, towards making this project achievable and making this childhood dream of mine of changing the World a reality…
