Mallko Y Papa by Gusti

Estamos, sin duda, ante el libro más hondo y personal de Gusti, uno de los escritores e ilustradores más importantes de América Latina. En él, este autor nos abre las puertas de su corazón para hablarnos, con absoluta sinceridad, de su propia persona y de la relación que lleva actualmente con su hijo Mallko. Recurriendo a las más diversas técnicas plásticas y a una prosa sencilla y directa, Gusti nos invita a adentrarnos en la intimidad de su entorno familiar para contarnos lo que significa convivir con un niño tan especial. Una conmovedora obra que retrata las luces y las sombras de un padre que pasa de la perplejidad y el desconcierto al amor incondicional. Un amor que se dirige a sus seres queridos y, especialmente, a su pequeño con síndrome de Down. Además de ser un libro de altísima calidad artística, constituye, sin duda, una inspiradora guía para padres.
