UM LUGAR PARA CORALINE

When Coraline first heard someone ask, "Can I borrow the skin-colored pencil?" and began to question what that really meant, readers were introduced to a thoughtful young girl on a journey of identity and self-discovery. In A Place for Coraline, she invites us to reflect on a new set of important questions.
This time, the story unfolds around a swimming competition, using the event as a subtle yet powerful metaphor to explore social issues that are often overlooked or minimized.
Through both its narrative and expressive illustrations, author and illustrator Rampazo examines inequality and privilege, showing that those with fewer opportunities often have to work twice as hard just to be considered "twice as good as the best."
With warmth, sensitivity, and hope, A Place for Coraline encourages readers of all ages to think about fairness, belonging, and the importance of creating a world where everyone has the chance to thrive.
"Thank goodness we have Coraline, our remarkable translator of life's little big moments, giving words to mysteries and answering grown-up questions in a way that is so gentle, so Brazilian, so uniquely her own. Dear readers, this book is so wonderful it feels like birdsong, a swimming pool on a hot day, and a word that gives you a hug." — Jim Anotsu
