I’m thrilled to announce that the English version of Maternity Abroad will soon be available in Brazil through Amazon! Whether you prefer a printed copy or the convenience of an online version, you’ll be able to get your hands on the book right here in Brazil.

This book has been a labor of love, designed to support and empower mothers who are navigating the unique challenges of pregnancy and motherhood far from home. I’m so excited to bring this resource to the Brazilian audience, and I hope it resonates with all of you as deeply as it has with readers around the world.

While Amazon is a great place to start, I’m exploring other platforms to make Maternity Abroad even more accessible in Brazil. If there are specific bookstores or online platforms where you’d like to see the book available, I’d love to hear your suggestions! Your feedback is incredibly valuable, and it will help me reach more readers who could benefit from this guide.

Jessica Gabrielzyk is a Brazilian writer living in Switzerland. She moved there with her husband and daughter, who was three months old at the time and had strong opinions about the whole thing even then.

She writes about change.

The visible kind and the kind that happens inside a person, while everything on the outside looks fine.

Her first book, Maternity Abroad, explored what it means to become a mother far from the system you trusted. It has reached readers in more than fifteen countries across five continents. Parenting Unpacked, her second book, follows the experience of parenting through major life disruption, whether that's an international move, a career loss, a new baby, or a life that simply stops responding the way it used to. My First American Coloring Book was created to help toddlers engage with daily life in the United States through play and familiar imagery.

She is a member of SIETAR, the Society for Intercultural Education, Training and Research, and the International Academy of Brazilian Literature.

She writes for the parent who is still inside it, getting through the day, and wondering somewhere underneath all of it who they are becoming.

When she is not writing, she is walking forty minutes uphill with a stroller, telling herself the exercise is the point.
