Loja das Curtas is hosting the second session of the “Conto Contigo” series, a programme of short story readings and plenty of fun activities, aimed at children and families, which takes place on the second Saturday of every month. Led by Xana Miranda, the event features a live reading of children’s stories, followed by a surprise activity and a light snack.

This session will take place on April 11th at 3.30 pm, featuring a reading from the book “The Incridible Other Side” by Andrew J. Ross, a fun story about community spirit that challenges us to create a reality worthy of our dreams. Participation is free, but subject to prior registration.

As part of the ANIMAR 21 side programme, this series aims to introduce children to literature in a fun and interactive way, whilst also encouraging family reading time.

THE INCREDIBLE OTHER SIDE
Andrew J. Ross · 2025 · Frances Lincoln Children's Books

What’s behind the mysterious wall? There’s something INCREDIBLE, just behind the wall . . . But how do you get past it? This group of kids is DETERMINED to find out!

The kid with the green hat tries to dig under the wall—but the shovel breaks!

The kid with the yellow hat tries to climb over the wall—but the rope snaps!

The kids with the red and purple hats try a ladder—but it falls apart!

At last, the smallest kid steps up. “If you can’t go under the wall,” she says, “and you can’t go over, you have to go through.” “Ridiculous!” the others scoff, and away they stomp together. But maybe you do need to think a little differently . . . if you want to reach the INCREDIBLE OTHER SIDE.
