Curtains tells the story of a young Brazilian girl who goes with her grandpa to visit his longtime friend, a Japanese urushi-e artist. Curious and restless, she begins to explore the house, where she is introduced to a whole new world and experiences.

The story is inspired by the life of the author's grandpa, who was an urushi-e artist in Brazil.

The children's book was written and illustrated in four months in the Fall of 2018 for an Introductory Computer Imaging Class. At the end of the semester, Curtains was selected by the professor of the class to be professionally bound by the Temple University Japan Campus library. One of the two copies produced is now part of the library's collection.

In November of 2019, the book was chosen by TUJ’s Art Department coordinator to be displayed at a Temple University Japan Campus & Showa Women’s University Joint Exhibition, an exhibition of works by art students from both campuses.
