The Little Capybara: Intermediate Bilingual Brazilian Portuguese-English Stories for Children

In the vibrant heart of Brazil, where music drifts through city streets, rivers flood ancient wetlands, and stars seem close enough to touch, four unforgettable stories come to life. In Luna and the Lost Parrot, a curious girl follows a talking parrot across a bustling Salvador neighbourhood, discovering that every word carries a hidden memory. In The Little Capybara, a quiet, overlooked animal in the Pantanal learns that true strength lies in observation, calm thinking, and courage when it matters most.
Carnival Under the Stars invites readers into the dazzling chaos of Rio's Carnival, where a shy boy discovers that joy can be experienced in many different ways. And in The Pineapple That Could Tell Stories, a boy who dislikes reading learns that stories are not just words on a page, they are alive, and meant to be shared. Written for intermediate level (B1-B2) learners of Brazilian Portuguese, this beautiful bilingual collection blends gentle humour and cultural richness with authentic Brazilian storytelling.
Each story supports language development through clear, accessible language while immersing readers in the colours, rhythms, and traditions of Brazil. Text in Portuguese and English.
