If your heart has ever ached remembering a place or a person, a smell or a taste, then you\'ve felt saudade.
A Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection.
Andre Ceolin\'s vivid illustrations, twining with daydreamy wisps of haze, set the perfect mood for this bittersweet, profoundly human story.
An endnote offers author Ana Crespo\'s personal story of saudade as a Brazilian immigrant, and a glossary covers other Portuguese words the mother and daughter use.
Readers who live far from loved ones or have adopted new homes will especially connect with this exploration of nostalgia and yearning.
Though deeply woven through Brazilian music and literature, saudade is a familiar companion to us all.
A cool salty breeze miles from the ocean; the smell of Mamãe\'s perfume; memories of playing with cousins under trees or waterfalls, riding waves with grandparents who are now stuck in the square of a video call.
Hiking in the hills, a little girl and her Brazilian immigrant mother contemplate what makes them feel saudade.
Saudade is a Portuguese and Galician word with no perfect translation to English; it\'s a strong, melancholy Longing for something you once had.
If your heart has ever ached remembering a place or a person, a smell or a taste, then you\'ve felt saudade
