About
I have been writing andcomposing since the day that I created a prelude, composing some notes(which I still have recorded on my brain) on a small piano toy at theage of three. But I first put my two feet at the theatre, playing theflute to a big audience at Mackenzie Institute, when I was seven yearsold. Since then I fell in love with the performing world. Then Igraduated in Arts in 1990 with license in Artistic Education at theUniversity FAAP in Sao Paulo. I started my career at an early age,performing in the Opera Carmina Burana at the Opera House in SaoPaulo, also dancing for the Young Ballet of Sao Paulo, at TheNutcracker for the Metropolitan Ballet Theatre in Washington D.C. I started to write andillustrate my poetic books and fictions when I was nine, just toentertain myself but I always dreamed of making other kids enjoy mycreations as well. When I was eleven years old I created a series ofcomic books, which I still keep on my hometown treasure island ofSantos in Brazil. Since then, I wrote novels for adults based upon mylife and Picture Books and Nursery Rhymes for children. I wrote poemsand short-stories for an anthology by Mackenzie Publishing (1984). Iillustrated the cover of the magazine Magia in 1990 (Editora Ondas). Mypoems were published on the National Literary Magazine "Mirante"(sept/2006) and on the ezine Aphelion (July/2007). One of my stories ispart of the anthology Spiritual Visitations by Zumaya Publications and I recently published "Life is Too Short...Make it a Big Shot" by Devine Destines. My writings can also be found on another anthology"A Thousand Voices" by Adventures Books of Seattle.

Story Behind The Book
When I was a child I used to draw some Christmas cards with poetry for my whole family. as i grew older I noticed those were stories that never get old. As nature itself flows through many cycles, so do our lives, with no beginning and no end. May this book, based upon the illustrations and rhymes I wrote since I was a little girl, inspire you and your beloved ones to sing in joy and live in harmony.
