Charlie y la fábrica de chocolate (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory)

by Roald Dahl, Quentin Blake (Illustrator)

Overview

Que se te rompan las alas no es motivo suficiente para dejar de volar.
 
A Alan le encantaban el deporte y las piruetas aéreas. Pero un buen día de 2018, la vida decidió ponerle un enorme obstáculo: una mala caída le produjo una lesión medular y las piernas dejaron de responderle. Ahora es tetrapléjico. Y también un modelo de superación, de no rendirse, de darle a su vida una nueva perspectiva para continuar adelante, experiencias que cuenta en sus redes sociales.
 
En este libro, Alan nos demuestra que la vida es un alud imparable y que, a pesar de los obstáculos, puede seguir siendo él mismo.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

So your wings were clipped, that is no reason to stop flying.
 
Alan loved sports and doing aerial stunts. But one fine day in 2018, life decided to throw a huge obstacle in front of him: a bad fall caused a spinal cord injury and his legs stopped responding. Now he is a quadriplegic. And he is also a role model of perseverance, of not giving up, of giving his life a new outlook to continue pushing forward. He narrates all his experiences on his social media.
 
In this book, Alan shows us that life is an unstoppable avalanche and that, despite all the obstacles that he has come across, he continues to be himself.
