A literary life start


Nalini woke Ana up this morning with a kind request. She brought to the bed one of her favorite books, "A cama que nao lava o pe" (Fatima Miguez), and asked that Ana please read her the story. She is genuinely fascinated by books, and loves to turn their pages, appreciating the pictures and colorful figures. She favors two activities with them: having a story read to her, and chewing on their corners. Her favorite genre is definitely poetry (of the rhyming kind) - poems would have a soothing effect on her and make her sleep early on in life. Until today she enjoys the musical cadence of poetry. Among her favorite authors, we count Dr. Seuss ("The Sleep Book", "The Cat in the Hat", and others) and Vinicius de Moraes, with his "Arca de Noe". For chewing, she prefers hardcovers.
