His trajectory and courage are admirable, from the hill went to the asphalt. Of loneliness, sought friends and the crowds. From Niterói to Rome. And from Rome to the world. “O CASULO” by Laila was too small to hold so many experiences and they became the pages of this book that will stir your emotions and will give you the strength to overcome all the obstacles that once held you back. Fly towards your dreams. Live the best experiences of your life.

- Always fly towards your dreams. Live the best experiences of your life. Face your problems head on and, remember if, that there is a solution for everything. Don't be afraid of life and its obstacles, because just like the course of river water, a new path will always be opened. I hope that “O Casulo” can bring you gas and energy to overcome your hardships - comments Laila dos Santos.

The CASULO is much more than a book. He's a call to a reunion where something is lost. Where clarity has been overshadowed and masks have served as an anesthetic to move forward. The result of this is to hide the pain and discomfort that was born somewhere in our past and, that prevents us from living the miracle of existence in its fullness and lightness. Each person's cocoon may represent an unbearable place or not. Everything will depend on how each one reacts to the storms that devastate their cocoon. Every line on these pages has been whispered into my ears to recall the transformation process that is my CASULE.
