We are thrilled to announce that the enchanting children’s book, “Cindayella and the Fairy Wordmother: A Tale About Choosing Kind and Empowering Words,” is now available in Portugal!

Penned by bestselling author Becky Cummings and published by Penguin Random House Portugal, this modern reimagining of a classic tale teaches young readers the transformative power of their own words. Instead of a magic wand, this story focuses on the “magic” of kindness and self-affirmation.

At Montse Cortazar Literary Agency, we are proud to have facilitated this partnership, bringing a story that fosters emotional intelligence and confidence to Portuguese families and classrooms.

What readers are saying:

★★★★★ “Such a heartwarming and empowering book that beautifully teaches young readers about the transformative power of words, attitude, and self-reflection. I could definitely relate to my oldest daughter’s experiences where at times she may struggle with negativity, frustration and an unkind demeanor that pushes others away. Reading this book helped to reinforce new strategies.”

★★★★★ “This little adventure into the power of words is charmingly illustrated with lots of white space—which seems just right for the story. Not too preachy or ridiculous, it hits a sweet note in between. A cute read that may help children—and adults—consider the power of words.”
