Dear Frederick,
My knowledge of Portuguese is a bit rusty, but I think that the
word "Boa" on page 20 is probably a literal translation of "Good!" Since
I have not seen the English text, I am just guessing. What the author
probably meant to say by "Good" is "All is well" or "Now that I'm home,
everything's going to be ok."
Please ask Sandra if, instead of "Boa" you can use "Bem" or "Tudo
vai bem."
Best regards,
Victor

Dear all: Sandra Lobo of Portugal helped us translate this Pratham
children's book into Portuguese. This is still a draft, and we're
working on it. If anyone else would like to help in translating other
stories (it's easy, since the work is already half done... by way of
stories in English, and illustrations) into any languages which have
not been done (working on some in Konkani too) please do get in touch. FN
Please see this link before reading the story (in English)
