"Marina's Capoeira Countdown brings us a glimpse into this infinite universe which is a child's mind. This book will be loved by many young readers because Marina gingas well in her game." - Mestre Acordeon

Falling on her bum bum again, eight year old Marina Ligiera just can't do the parafuso, the coolest kick in all of Capoeira. She's ready to hang up her green belt and quit.
At the suggestion of her pesky brother Mateo, she decides to practice until she falls ten times. Can she finally succeed and earn the coveted yellow belt?

This beautifully illustrated children's book is appropriate for ages 3 to 9, and makes a great gift for anyone interested in Capoeira or Brazilian culture.
