| Publisher Description: Can you dance in a wheelchair? Can you sing without being able to speak? A touching and tender story about the friendship between a small child in wheelchair, which speaks to the heart. Can a shell become a child's best friend? This story, based on a real and true friendship, narrates how a little boy in a wheelchair met his best friend of all times, and how they never left each other's side. A small snail in a shell loved being carried around in a small necklace. She loved how her owner discovered the world and she along with him. One day, she falls down in the sand a boy happens to find her and introduces her to his brother, Yago. How strange Yago wasn't able to talk, and he couldn't walk either, because he was in a wheelchair. Yago's family seem very fond of him, but how is it possible? Eager to communicate with Yago, the little snail finds a special language to feel whatever the boy is feeling: listening to his heartbeat. This insightful story will teach children to accept differences and deal with diversity. Read the first pages of Yago's Heartbeat here: |
