‘Quando a Porta Fica Aberta’ is Luísa Sobral’s first children’s book. The result of the collaboration with her friend and illustrator Camila Beirão, the book now arrives at all bookstores in the country with the seal of the publisher Caminho.

Starting from the shape of the closet door in Emilia’s room – a girl afraid to turn off the light – to show her all the wonderful things that can happen inside at night, this book is a compliment to courage and imagination and should be read and enjoyed as a family, because it will help the little ones to lose their fear of the dark and feed the desire for stories and fantasy, excellent means of developing skills and making discoveries.

With a modern line and colors that are sometimes bright, sometimes softer, the drawings of Camila Beirão – who had already collaborated with Luísa on the album ‘Camomila’ (2021) and on the podcast ‘O Avesso da Canção’ – come to life in these pages, living up to the words of Emília’s mother when she reveals to her the fantastic secrets that are hidden in a simple closet.
