The book explores the rich tapestry of Brazilian folklore, featuring a variety of enchanting stories that delve into the origins of various animals and natural phenomena. It is likely aimed at a younger audience, inviting readers into a world of imagination and cultural heritage through the eyes of engaging characters such as rabbits, tigers, and monkeys. The opening of the collection introduces Theresa, a storyteller, who captivates her audience with tales from her Brazilian garden. The first narrative unfolds a world where, long ago, the sun never set, and how the daughter of the Great Sea Serpent longs for night. Her husband enlists the help of three slaves to journey to the sea kingdom to obtain shadows, inadvertently allowing night to escape and change their fate. This initial story sets the stage for a rich legacy of charming, morality-infused tales that offer not only entertainment but also insights into the cultural fabric of Brazil.
