Our New Story is: "The Rug" by Martha Ângelo

It's that time of the month again! Here's a new contemporary Brazilian short story fresh out of the oven. Today we have the pleasure of featuring the work of Martha Ângelo, a writer who works with programs that promote reading habits among children and teenagers. We've selected "The Rug" because it allows us to take a glimpse of the living conditions of low income families in Brazil and how imagination can be an escape for those who have so little. We hope you enjoy Martha's work and feel free to comment on it.
