The Trail Mail

Once a month, an envelope arrives. Inside, a whole world.

The Trail Mail is a monthly physical letter that takes you and your children to a new world through your letterbox. Each month, your child receives a beautiful envelope containing an original story featuring Saci and friends, characters drawn from the rich and playful world of Brazilian folklore (with a few original faces of their own).

This isn't just a story to read and put away. Every issue invites your child to become part of the adventure with a collectable card, a postcard to send to their own friends and family, a sticker sheet, a recipe inspired by the setting, and an invitation to write (or draw) what happens next.

What's inside each envelope:

An original story featuring Saci, Curupira, Boto, Iara and friends written by Maíra Metelo, the best-selling author and founder of Saci Books.

A collectable card featuring a character or creature from this month's story, with fun facts to discover

Paper goodies including postcards to send to your friends and family, bookmarks or activities

Stickers to keep, swap or decorate your water bottle, notebook or wherever you see it fit with characters, animals, creatures and much more.

A recipe card with a simple, kid-friendly recipe connected to the story.

A creative prompt  to trigger yours and your child's imagination while improving their writing and illustration skills. 

 

🧡 Why kids love it:

Because it's theirs. It arrives addressed to them. It's something to open, collect, read, cook, and create from — not another screen.

🧡 Why parents love it:

Because it's screen-free, hands-on, and genuinely creative — encouraging reading, writing, and imagination, one envelope at a time.

Materials

All items will be made from paper. We source suppliers that use FSC certified paper or recycled paper.
Stickers will have a plastic, rubber and/or glue component. We avoid non-degradable materials but sometimes it's inevitable due to the nature of stickers.
