Name: Cidinha Rodrigues Alves

Age: 7

Address: Ludovico village, northern Brazil

I live with my mum and dad, my brothers Rosenilton, Osmar and Francisco, and my sisters Osailde and Rosanilde. I am the youngest.

My house
My house is made from earth and wood, with palm leaves on the roof. It has small windows which means that it stays lovely and cool in the hottest weather.

Favourite food
Pork and beans and rice. We have it at Christmas and on special days.

Helping at home
I like helping my mum break babassu nuts. We sell the oil from the nuts and it is used to make soap.

Favourite games
We play skipping games and make hoops out of bicycle wheels or tyres. Sometimes we play football or go swimming.

Best friends
Maria and Sueli. They live across the street.

My dreams
When I grow up I want to be a famous singer and dancer.
