Fiction

10-year-old Manolito tells about his experiences at home, in school, and in his Madrid neighborhood. "Don't try to be different." That's what Manolito's mother tells him. She also describes him as “born talking.” Manolito can't help it, that’s just how he is and it shouldn’t be a surprise since he was named after his father’s truck. In this three set series Manolito is telling his story of his daily experience and the situations he goes through. Whether he's fighting over the One-and-Only Susana with his best friend, Big Ears; trying not to fight with Ozzy the Bully; telling his entire life story to the school psychologist; sharing a room with his "whole lotta cool" grandpa; or discovering the true meaning of World Peace - ten-year-old Manolito is a real original. As he would say, in the worldwide world, there's nobody like him! Manolito was original published in Spain in 1994 and has recently been translated into English. This is a self narrative of a boy who is not afraid to be who he is…no matter what people say.
