Ainhoa Revoltosa - (Somos8) by José Carlos Andrés (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

A hopeful story about the things that make us unique.
Una historia sincera y divertida, inspirada en hechos reales.

Ruby is a little girl with lots of energy! But recenty she has been falling down a lot. When she runs, she falls; when she dances, she falls; when she picks something up, she often drops it. Everyone thinks she's a bit clumsy!

When Ruby is told she has a disability, her parents start treating her very differently. They never tell her off, even when she behaves badly... She draws on her dad's favourite painting... nothing, she puts her mum's tablet in the bath... nothing. Ruby just wants to be treated the same as her two brothers.

Ainhoa y su familia no saben porqué se cae tanto. Por fin, la doctora descubre que la niña tiene una enfermedad que afecta a sus músculos.
Con el tiempo, Ainhoa irá en silla de ruedas. Pero eso no la impide ser... ¡la más traviesa de los tres!

Review Quotes

Bank Street College of Education: The Best Children's Books of the Year in Spanish 2024 Edition.


Bright and energetic illustrations accompany the story, adding to its appeal. Sure, it's bibliotherapy, but children with disabilities will appreciate Ainhoa's desire to be treated like any normal kid because her disability does NOT define her. Classmates would also benefit from this viewpoint. - Puget Sound Council for Reviewing Children's and Young Adult Literature
