The Regional Directorate for Culture, through Francisco de Lacerda Museum, promotes the launch of the children's book "Princesa sobre Rodas" (Princess on Wheels) on Thursday, November 22, at Velas Basic Education and Secondary School, S. Jorge Island, at 7 PM.
This project stemmed from the Reading Week, held in May, an initiative organised by the Francisco de Lacerda Museum. The book was written by Flávia Medeiros and contains illustrations of 34 students from the three public schools of S. Jorge.
The work aims to raise the awareness of the community and the school public, in particular, for the respect for difference. It tells the story of a young princess who, although in a wheelchair, finds her prince charming.
The development this work also counted on the support of various local professionals, namely from the educational area, as well as of the municipal councils of São Jorge.
