And it's in this same rhythm that the following pages unfold, in which, amid metaphors of cocoons, bats, and butterflies, the author shares a little about herself and her experiences as a girl who loves girls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Born and raised in Salvador, Elayne Baeta has picked up a few scrapes along the way. But it was these—painful ones—that made her sharpen her critical sense and establish herself today as one of the most influential voices in LGBTQ+ young adult literature in Brazil, challenging the conservatism, intolerance, and prejudice that still exist in the country.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eMultifaceted, beyond writing, Elayne also dedicates herself to podcasts and illustrating, as well as being a popular figure on social media: in her early twenties, she has over 40,000 followers on Instagram and 35,000 on Twitter. In literature, Elayne Baeta does what she deserves, giving sometimes marginalized characters and lives a new path.
