Mallko Y Papa by Gusti
This is without a doubt the most profound and personal book by Gusti, one of Latin America's most important writers and illustrators. In it, the author opens his heart to write sincerely about himself and his relationship with his son, Mallko. With simple and direct writing, he invites us into his family to discuss what it means to live with a child as special as him. This moving book portrays the highlights and shadows of a father who moves from perplexed and disconcerted to loving his son with Down syndrome unconditionally. In addition to its vast artistic value, this book is also an inspiring guide for parents.
