Hi, I’m Issy.

I was born in Brazil and moved to England when I was six, so I grew up between two languages and two cultures, with a faith that has always held everything together. I went on to study law at uni, graduating in 2023.

In 2021, I married my husband, who also moved to the UK from Brazil as a child. He has a degree in Physical Education, specialising in early years, primary and secondary school teaching, and has experience in the classroom.

Together we understand what it’s like to grow up bilingual in Britain, and we know first-hand how much children gain when learning is playful, well structured and right for their age.

Now we have a little one of our own, and we’re teaching her along the way: Portuguese at home and eventually English at school, and faith at the heart of it all.

This shop began with the resources we make for our own family: learning activities for children, Portuguese materials to keep our language alive, and faith-based journals that help us slow down and stay rooted.

Thank you for being here. I hope you find something that brings a little more learning, connection and faith into your home.
