The Queen of the North (A Rainha do Norte) Being a foreigner in a far far away country isn’t easy. Being happy for ever after isn’t easy either. The queen of this story knew that. She was sad for so long that the king began to be seriously concerned. The king was used to command his troops and to fight enemies with his sword, but this time he had no one to fight with. What was this illness that drained every strength from the queen? And how should he fight it?

Drawing inspiration from the portuguese Legend of the Almond Trees, a story for all ages that involves loneliness, longing and sorrow. And what we must learn in order to move on. 60 pages · 165 x 230 mm Published by Planeta Tangerina

Estou a fazer um projecto sobre assédio na rua, e gostava de ouvir as vossas histórias!

Sejam aqueles velhos que te dizem coisas que nem percebes bem o que foi mas sabes que é nojento. Seja um apalpão furtivo. Seja aquele gajo que te segue até casa. Podem ser cenas que já aconteceram há mil anos atrás e nunca te esqueceste, ou que se passaram na semana passada.

Se tiveres um testemunho que gostavas de partilhar manda-me uma mensagem privada aqui pelo tumblr, ou para o meu email: [email protected]

Obrigada!

Map for Crying Travellers

"Porto is an amazing place to visit and to live in. It’s also a great place for crying your eyes out. Sometimes traveling is tiring and confusing and you feel like tearing up but have no place to go because you’re stuck in a hostel with eight other people. If you just want to find a place to feel alone and let it all out, this map is for you!"
