Dyslexic
Dislexicando (2015) is a children's book written with the spelling mistakes made by people with dyslexia. In other words, a book with Portuguese "errors." It's the account of a girl who questions how children with dyslexia are treated and the attitude of specialists. The book was illustrated by Tony de Marco, a type designer who also has dyslexia.

The fear of being caught in a trap.
“Is fear meant to be overcome or understood?”, a phrase that appears as the epigraph to the book “The Fear of a Trapped Tail” (Ed. Scipione), by Marina Miyazaki, raises an essential question when considering a complete education that forms citizens ready to engage in dialogue with society and with themselves. Overcoming a fear can mean victory, but understanding it is perhaps the most important thing, because it demands a comprehension of that which, being different, creates doubts and can paralyze. The illustrations by Gilmar Machado (@cartunista_das_cavernas) decisively contribute to the questions posed by the text gaining new and multiple dimensions. After all, as the author says, her writing is realized “with the help of dyslexia, pouring out crooked, right, wrong, invented and disjointed words (let the editor deal with it) into texts for children that are transformed into art in the hands of illustrators, animators and editors”.

SENTIMENTARY
Based on the text "Words, Perfumes and Feelings," in which the author deals with words in a playful and unique way, the workshop and the animated short film "Sentimentário" emerged, which won awards at several film festivals and was produced and
Directed by graduating students from the Film Studies program at the Federal University of Pelotas.
The great lesson lies in bringing to the discussion how the meaning of words is much greater than what is found in the traditional dictionary. The emotional value of each word, whether for children or as an emotional memory for adults, cannot be ignored or erased. It needs to be constantly valued.
Creating a personal dictionary of feelings is an essential poetic step precisely for establishing a creative and sensitive understanding of the world.

FATHER FRANCIS
Non-traditional parent-child relationships are rarely depicted in the arts. This book focuses on the affection between a child and his incarcerated father. It delves into bonds distinct from those crystallized by society. There is a reflection on how roles stereotyped by society and the media take on new dimensions when the situation deviates from the conventional. The challenges are multiple, the pains are distinct, and the expressions of affection take on new dimensions, many of them surprising, as they deal with voids, needs, and the capacity of imagination to overcome distances and fill gaps.

Before, I didn't even know I had dyslexia. After I found out and admitted it, I still created blogs and social media profiles anonymously. All to be free, to be able to write the way and about what I wanted. Having overcome that phase, I managed to publish *Dislexicando*, a book with uncorrected "errors," criticizing and deconstructing everything that has been said about dyslexia to this day. It was liberating! Currently, I have a reasonably good relationship with my dyslexia; I've learned to use it to my advantage.
