Vanusa's Dream
Nicole Haragutchi

This children's book is an authorized biography of Vanusa Jaqueline Gonçalves dos Santos who lost her parents early in life. Her dedication and courage gave her the initiative of selling candies on the streets of Ponta Grossa city in Southern Brazil, with the objective of purchasing educational resources. Through her own efforts, she was able to be accepted in the University after she placed herself in first place at the rigorous entrance examinations. Vanusa is today in the Literacy program at Ponta Grossa State University. She also provides speeches to encourage young students in her region.

All proceeds from this book are going directly to Vanusa Jaqueline Gonçalves dos Santos to enable her to complete her education at the Ponta Grossa State University.

Vanusa's Dream review by disrdstang
Profile Picture

Vanusa and her family lived in a very cozy house together in Ponta Grossa, Brazil. While she was growing up, she was bubbly and had such a warm laughter until her mother became ill and passed away when Vanusa was eleven years old. Her dad tried picking up the pieces by trying to fill the empty space his daughter was feeling. No one could imagine that only a few years later, when Vanusa was sixteen, that another terrible heartache would happen. Her father was diagnosed with cancer and eventually passed away as well. Now she was alone, not knowing what would happen to her.
