Em todas as histórias antigas, naqueles contos de fadas em que eu ainda acreditava mais ou menos, era assim que acontecia. Crianças comuns estavam visitando seus parentes, talvez. Ou presas em internatos. Sozinhas. Incertas. Ansiando por aventura. E, em pouco tempo, a aventura chegava ate elas. Pegaram o caminho errado, foram expulsas de tudo que era familiar e, de repente, uma porta para outro mundo se abria.Naquele vero, aos catorze anos, eu estava velha demais para acreditar, e claro. Mas o desejo e a vontade ainda estavam la.Na verdade, eles nunca nos deixam. A questo e se isso vai tornar nossa esperança mais verdadeira ou nossa ferida mais profunda.

There are forests that grow from soil.And there are forests that grow from dreams.When a solitary wanderer steps beneath a moonlit canopy, he enters a place where silence listens, memories linger, and unfinished dreams are gently held rather than forgotten. As glowing lanterns drift between branches, rivers sing with remembered voices, and moonbeams themselves learn to dream, the forest guides him through spaces shaped by longing, hope, and quiet understanding.This is not a tale of conquest or danger, but of stillness, recognition, and the courage to slow down. Each path reveals another soft truth: that even the dreams we set aside continue to breathe, waiting patiently for the moment we are ready to remember them.The Forest Where Moonbeams Learned to Dream is a lyrical, contemplative fantasy for readers seeking calm, emotional depth, and gentle wonder. A book meant to be read slowlyat night, in silence, or whenever the world feels too loud.Perfect for lovers of poetic fantasy, meditative storytelling, and dreamlike journeys through light and shadow.
