Topics Feria del Libro de Sevilla Jardines de Murillo
The writer Diego García Fernández will sign copies of «Pedro y su espejito» and offer a free storytelling session on November 1 at FELISE, with a craft activity for the little ones.
The writer Diego García Fernández, a native of Torrejón de Ardoz (Madrid), will bring the third edition of his children's story «Pedro y su espejito» to the Seville Book Fair (FELISE), published in hardcover by the Seville publisher Libros Indie. The work, written by García Fernández and illustrated by Paloma Rodríguez, tells the story of a boy who begins to feel insecure because of comments about his physical appearance and who, with the help of his teacher and his parents, learns to value himself and to understand that his importance goes beyond his appearance.
García Fernández is a member of the Asociación Española para la Prevención del Acoso Escolar (A.E.P.A.E.) and, as he explains, the story seeks to help families and educators work on the prevention of bullying from childhood.
