Shelter

Across three books, Isa builds a version of the city of Felicidade that feels open, lived-in, and full of small differences.

The newest instalment turns its attention to the spaces children return to at the end of the day: bedrooms, shared tables, rooftops, corners filled with toys, quiet, or conversation. Rather than presenting one ideal of family life, the illustrations move gently between many ways of living, from busy urban homes to places closer to nature, each carrying its own rhythm and warmth.

Published as part of Clara Freire’s ongoing series for young readers, the work continues a broader reflection on care, education, and the everyday environments that shape childhood.
