Angela Costa Simoes

Angela Costa Simoes has been inspired to create a series of bilingual children's books to help children (and even parents!) to start learning Portuguese from a very early age.

“I’m third-generation Portuguese-American, so I’m not fluent in Portuguese,” says Simoes. “We want our daughter to learn Portuguese, but reading her a book all in Portuguese was very difficult for me. Having a bilingual book not only allows me to participate in my daughter learning Portuguese, but I get to learn something as well! I hope other parents will enjoy the same experience.”
