A joyful night.
A glowing fire.
A village dancing as one.
São João Night is a bilingual children’s story inspired by Cabo Verdean tradition, following a young girl’s magical experience on the eve of São João. Filled with music, courage, and community, this beautifully told tale celebrates culture, belonging, and the joy that stays in the heart.
