Shortlisted for the 2008 Scotiabank Giller Prize
Like Wayson Choy and David Bezmozgis before him, Anthony De Sa captures, in stories brimming with life, the innocent dreams and bitter disappointments of the immigrant experience.
At the heart of this collection of intimately linked stories is the relationship between a father and his son. A young fisherman washes up nearly dead on the shores of Newfoundland. It is Manuel Rebelo who has tried to escape the suffocating smallness of his Portuguese village and the crushing weight of his mother’s expectations to build a future for himself in a terra nova. Manuel struggles to shed the traditions of a village frozen in time and to silence the brutal voice of Maria Theresa da Conceicao Rebelo, but embracing the promise of his adopted land is not as simple as he had hoped.
Manuel’s son, Antonio, is born into Toronto’s little Portugal, a world of colourful houses and labyrinthine back alleys. In the Rebelo home the Church looms large, men and women inhabit sharply divided space, pigs are slaughtered in the garage, and a family lives in the shadow cast by a father’s failures. Most days Antonio and his friends take to their bikes, pushing the boundaries of their neighbourhood street by street, but when they finally break through to the city beyond they confront dangers of a new sort. -

Indeed, the biscuit porcelain vessels that hold our candles bear a distinctive, textured Diamond pattern, drawn from the motifs found in Portuguese architecture. When the candle is lit, the Diamond design creates a soft, shadowy glow from the translucent porcelain, as the candle’s fragrance envelopes the room. Drawing on 130 years of heritage in the beauty and fragrance world, our fragrances are created by renowned perfumers using the finest raw materials, to conjure up a unique olfactory experience.

Visit product page →From celebrated author Anthony De Sa comes a raw and compelling novel of love, war and the heartbreaking effects of memory.
"'You must listen to my words. You must promise to tell my story the way I have shared it with you.'"
Tanzania, 1956. A Maasai woman gives birth to a child with albinism. The child is seen as a curse upon her tribe, and so begins Pó's tumultuous story. As Pó navigates the world, she must claim her life in the face of violence and ostracism.
Further south, in Portuguese-controlled Mozambique, Ezequiel struggles for acceptance too. Adopted by missionaries, he is not recognized by his Portuguese father's community, or by his Makonde mother's tribe. When civil war erupts, he must choose who to fight for and who to leave behind.
Pó and Zeca come together in a time of momentous change. Love connects these two outsiders, forcing them to confront the shattering impact of colonialism and war. Children of the Moon is a stunning and unforgettable exploration of the love of two people at once bound and separated by forces beyond their control.Paperback Edition

Visit product page →Push for Happy: An Interactive Emotional Awareness + Regulation Children's Book
Push for Happy is an interactive emotional intelligence, awareness, and regulation book. It prompts children to label feelings, emotional triggers, and to put themselves into the storybook along the way. Children create their own character, drawing out body scans, by illustrating how they experience the feeling and where they feel it in their body. Children draw their triggers while thinking about how to regulate their emotions and considering the characters’ experiences.
This book was created by Tania DaSilva, a child, and youth therapist, it allows children to create a one-of-a-kind storybook, making themselves one of the main characters! It follows four friends throughout their day and their emotional ups and downs, the biggest lesson being emotions aren’t permanent and awareness helps us regulate.

Visit product page →Falar de arrumação é como falar de gosto. Pode ser tão subjectivo, tão variado quando as pessoas. Comece por aí como primeiro objectivo. Examine bem a sua personalidade e a sua maneira de estar na vida - claro que as exigências de arrumação diferem consoante o agregado familiar.
O ideal é que se consiga o equilíbrio. O seu. Um compromisso realista entre o seu desejo de ordem e as suas necessidades. Depois, há que conhecer a casa que habita; tenha em consideração a estrutura arquitectónica e coloque-a às suas exigências - trata-se de casa própria ou de um aluguer temporário?
Não esquença o orçamento!
Estabeleça prioridades!
Avalie as suas necessidades!
Preveja e deixe espaço para novos pertences!
Não fique preso a convenções!
A arrumação não tem que ser monótona!

Visit product page →O Gosto Português na Arte dá continuidade ao projeto iniciado em 2014. Desafiámos historiadores de arte a refletirem sobre o conceito do gosto nas suas variadas propostas e perceções, enquadrando-o na perspetival da obra total.
O livro que agora se apresenta alinha na fórmula anterior, mas foca-se no "gosto português" ou nos gostos que se pensa terem vingado em Portugal. A novidade das investigações levadas a cabo por Ana Duarte Rodrigues, Isabel Mendonça, Maria João Ferreira, Nuno Senos, Sílvia Ferreira, Susana Varela Flor e Vítor Serrão, permitem concluir que "o gosto português" é, afinal, internacional, ou pelo menos, encontra-se repleto de referências internacionais.
