I am honoured to have a short piece of writing included in a new anthology, Avós: Raízes e Nós.
I extend my gratitude and thanks to the wonderful organizers of this project, Aida Baptista, Ilda Januário, Manuela Marujo, who continue to inspire me, as they do many others, with their tireless work to document and celebrate stories about grandparents and their importance in our lives.

Hi Caroline,
Thank you so much for your kind words. The anthology is a collection of stories/reflections/essays on grandparents. It is mostly in Portuguese with only 3 entries in English. I still haven’t received my copy but I’m sure it will be a wonderful read.

I’m so glad. I thought you might like her work. It’s amazing to me how many gifted artists we have around the world that I would never know about if not for the age of the internet. You, of course, are one of them.
