Set in various locations across Minas Gerais, one of Brazil's most charming and beloved states, Em cada canto: cinco contos de Natal (loosely translated as Five Christimas Tales) brings together narratives by acclaimed contemporary Brazilian writers who embraced the challenge of creating heartwarming Christmas fiction. The cover art is by Reticolo Soarez Studio.

In O melhor Natal da história (The Best Christmas in History) by Emanoel Ferreira, something intriguing occurs: utterly unexpected for almost any city in a tropical country, a snowstorm blankets Belo Horizonte in white. Twelve-year-old Bruno is as happy as can be; for the first time, December looks just like the Christmas movies Hollywood has always insisted on showing.
But what could have caused this phenomenon? Meteorologists in the news are clueless. At Bruno’s house, however, his mysterious parents seem to know more than ordinary people should.
