About Sleeping with Giants Books
Real Stories. Big Dreams. Magical Bedtime Moments.
Hello! We’re Marcos & Filipa, a loving couple and proud parents of two curious little dreamers. Together, we created Sleeping with Giants Books: a growing collection of inspirational children’s books and bedtime stories about real people whose ideas and courage helped change the world.
It all started with a family tradition.
When Marcos was a child, his mother would sit beside his bed and tell him bedtime stories, not just fairy tales, but stories about painters, scientists, inventors, and explorers. She spoke of their struggles, dreams, and the imagination that helped them grow into the giants of history.
Now that we’re parents, we want to pass that tradition on.
But in a way that’s fun, playful, and meaningful for today’s children.
That’s why we write beautifully illustrated children’s books about famous people, stories designed to spark curiosity, build cultural awareness, and plant little seeds of wonder in the minds of children aged 4 to 9.
💫 Our mission? To help families turn bedtime into a moment of connection, discovery, and inspiration.
📖 Our books are available in English and Portuguese, and we hope they become part of your family’s story too.
Because even the biggest giants… started small. 💛
Thank you!
Filipa & Marcos
