Author and editor Beti Rozencwajg (photo) will offer a one-and-a-half-hour workshop after school for children, based on her two illustrated children’s books, “Stolen Spirit” and “Without Words”.
The two books provide a brief overview of Brazil’s early history while encouraging young readers to reflect on their Brazilian heritage through their personal experiences as immigrants or as children of immigrants.
The workshop will present some general information about Brazil’s early history through a brief discussion, but it will also be interactive.
“Stolen Spirit,” set in 1500, focuses on the arrival of the Portuguese in Brazil from the perspective of an indigenous boy. The workshop will explain how Brazil got its 
name and why the Portuguese were interested in this land.
“Without Words” tells the story of a Brazilian immigrant boy who uses his drawing talent to adapt to life in the United States. The workshop will encourage children to draw or write about a personal experience they had with Brazil.
The event “Afternoon Seminar with Sem Fronteiras Press” will take place on July 12, 2018, from 4 PM to 5:30 PM, at the Brazilian-American Chamber of Commerce, Inc.
