IN SPITE WHAT IT MIGHT SEEMS, THIS BOOK DOES NOT SPEAK ABOUT ACHONDROPLASIA BUT ABOUT A MORE COMMON PROBLEM: ASSERTIVITY
An eleven-year-old boy, Marcos, does suffers from this inability to speak out as he is too shy to express what he feels.The teacher has asked him to do a project about achondroplasia, i.e. dwarfism, with two classmates with whom he doesn’t get along very well. Fanny and Sussi are the best in grades but are selfish, cruel and even liars. Unable to refuse, he is given the task to find and interview a person who suffers from this growth disorder to find out about the daily problems they face. Fortunately, Marcos’ teacher has a nephew called Damián who has achondroplasia. Damián and Marcos immediately form a bond of friendship that will teach many things about the disease, but more importantly, about the courage and strength of those who suffer from it and about what is really important in life, the value of generosity and friendship.
