This book is a shared project with "Chiado Editora" editor. In it you will find 5 small children's stories. The idea of writing this book was a child dream of the author, hence the title "Sonhos de Criança" (Children Dreams)

These are the first stories written by Octávia Pinto, when she was roughly 8 years old. Kept away for a few years, they were corrected and evaluated which lead to the decision of joining them in a children's book. Along with a freelance web designer-Tiago Portela, the small stories were recreated and sent to the editor where they are still being edited so that we can see the Sonhos de Criança being published any time soon. For the project to get to this stage a contract had to be signed with the editor in which the writer compromises herself to buy a certain amount of copies at her own expense to meet with the contract requirements. 

Presently Octávia Pinto is not a professional writer and therefore she doesn't have the resources to cover all the expenses for the graphics design and for the publishing.  That's how the idea of internet funding came up.

About the author

Octavia Pinto was born in 1985 in Peniche - Portugal, and since her childhood she developed a particular taste for reading and writing. She studied Natural Science and later graduated in Biomedical and Laboratorial Science.

Throughout her youth, she kept her love for reading. And in her spare time came up with a habit of writing texts and reflective poems. But is the reading of national and international contemporary authors that innovates her own writing. Some of her poems and reflections were published in her personal blog "... a passear pela vida ...".

Recently she also contributed with some phrases of her own to the book "Da Cozinha com Amor".

Budget and due dates

I need to raise at least 1500€ to support the publishing and graphical design costs. Considering that the average rewards is around 22€, I believe I need around 68 supporters to offer an average of 22€ each. As I hope to raise from some of my friends, family, acquaintances, among others, I believe the goal is achievable in about 2 month (approximately 60 days). Presently I have the book with the editor; I expect to have it ready during November, and then proceed to its presentation so that it goes on sale on the bookshops.
