Game of Freedom | Mestre Bimba & Capoeira Children’s Book

A wonderful addition to any child’s library, especially for families interested in Black history, African diaspora culture, Brazilian history, martial arts, and stories of inspiring historical figures.

Blending martial arts, dance, music, acrobatics, and cultural tradition, capoeira became an important expression of strength and resilience within Brazil’s African-descended communities. Mestre Bimba dedicated his life to teaching the art, developing his own style, and helping capoeira gain the respect it deserved.

Through vibrant illustrations and an engaging true story, children can learn about Afro-Brazilian history, perseverance, cultural pride, and the importance of protecting ancestral traditions.
