The campaign aims to raise funds for the edition of the children's book "Anchieta", since a sponsorship is requested from the author.

After analyzing the proposals of four publishers, I opted to advance to an author edition due to the most advantageous conditions presented to me.

The original work tells the story of an Indian little girl living in the Amazon, who is very curious about the concrete world. Anchi counts on the company of its brother Eke, in the games in the jungle, and of its pet monkey. Like all the other children, she has a fear that almost dominates her, and will count on the support of her friends to overcome it, being, however, constantly pestered by the evil Xinfrim.

The work counts on characters inspired by the Guarani tribe, in the Brazilian folklore and makes allusions to characters of the fantastic scope, that will stimulate the children's creativity. It has a strong component of awareness for the preservation of nature.

The illustrations were made by Rodrigo Estiveira, a friend who spent a few weeks in the Amazon Rainforest.

Once the total value has been raised, the work will be edited and released. All steps of the campaign, scheduled date of issue, date and place of launch of the work, will be made public.

About the author

Lara Barradas, author of the original work "Anchieta", 40 years old and resident in the Municipality of Vila Franca de Xira.

Graduated in Communication Sciences, I am currently collaborating with Manpower Group Solutions to work at Unicre as a Dispute Analyst.

Although I work with numbers, I showed talent in writing from an early age. I started, however, my course as an author recently.

I recently participated in the unpublished initiative "Speed Writing" with two texts selected for editing, in the categories comedy and suspense. I also participated in a poetry anthology promoted by Chiado Editora, with a poem selected from 5000 contestants and I have a homonymous page on Facebook with more than five thousand followers.

I attended a course in Creative Writing, taught by the author, journalist and writer José Couto Nogueira, which was a very important contribution and incentive at the beginning of my journey in the world of writing.
