Kirkus Reviews:"A vivid and informative tale about Brazil for young readers."Indie Reader Starred Review:"A rich, immersive travelogue that delves beneath Brazil's vibrant surface to explore its complex cultural and historical fabric. Geiszel Godoy's Brazilian Cultural Exchange is an enjoyable read that educates as much as it entertains."Victoria G., Educator:"As a NYC public school teacher, Black Sands books are essential to the classroom because it finally gives us minorities a chance to be POWERFULLY represented in literature."Ryan Will, Reedpop:"In an industry that has struggled with diversity, it is so refreshing to see Black Sands creating work that is adding diversity while also providing some much-needed diverse storytelling to children of all ages. The combination of quality artwork and great characters is something that can be difficult to find among self-published comics which also makes Black Sands a valuable addition...[and adds a] much-needed element to the pop-culture industry as a whole."
