Nino Wrestles the World by Yuyi Morales
Señoras y señores, put your hands together for the fantastic, spectacular, one of a kind . . . Niño!
Fwap! Slish! Bloop! Krunch! He takes down his competition in a single move!
No opponent is too big a challenge for the cunning skills of Niño--popsicle eater, toy lover, somersault expert, and world champion lucha libre competitor!
Niño Wrestles the World is in English with Spanish vocabulary, and is a fun, colorful story about a boy wrestling with imaginary monsters (including an Olmec Head and La Llorona) and adversaries like his younger sisters. This is a joyful picture book from Yuyi Morales about imagination, play, and siblings.

Yuyi Morales grew up in Mexico, surrounded by enormous grandparents, mossy house walls, and raging feral gardens, and developed a strong link with the wonderful stories that passed through her family. She has leaned on her family's culture and ethnicity since immigrating to the United States in 1994 to develop some of the most recognized Latina works for children's books. In both 2004 and 2008, Yuyi was awarded the Pura Belpre Award for Artwork.
