Isaac's Laugh

by Juan Ignacio Peña, Mar Blanco (Illustrator), Jon Brokenbrow (Translator)

Overview

A heartening story that celebrates the power of dreaming and having fun, despite the difficulties we may encounter along the way.

Despite having plenty of reasons to be sad, there’s always a smile on Isaac’s face thanks to the incredible stories his grandpa tells him, stories that helped him to forget about the illness that was stealing all of his curly blonde hair. Isaac is totally convinced that life is a wonderful game. He’s always dreaming about amazing places like Nuba, a kingdom where people are always happy. But unfortunately, there’s an enemy on the horizon in the land of laughter: the Lord of Noise, who threatens to destroy the happiness of the kingdom once and for all…

Isaac’s LAUGH is a poignant tale that celebrates the joy of living despite the hurdles we must overcome along the way, reminding us that fun and bravery can build a world full of love and hope.
