La jirafa Julia y el puercoespín Paco son grandes amigos.

Ella es altísima y muy tímida.

Él tiene púas y es un poco cascarrabias.

Todos en la escuela Sabana hablan del nuevo. Algunos ya lo han visto. ¡Es rosa! ¡Es de fuera! ¡Es un chico! Y, además, se mueve así y asá. Todos se ríen de él. Todos menos Julia y Paco, que están deseando conocer a su nuevo compañero.

¿Dónde estará? ¿Querrá ser su amigo?

Y... ¿qué es eso de que se mueve así y asá?

Descúbrelo.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION


Giraffe Julia and porcupine Paco are great friends.
 
She is very tall and very shy.
 
He has spikes and is a bit of a grouch.
 
Everyone at Savannah School talks about the new student. Some have already seen him. He is pink! He is from out of town! He is a boy! And he moves zig-zag with a swag. Everyone laughs at him. Everyone except Julia and Paco, who are looking forward to meeting their new classmate.
 
Where could he be? Will he want to be their friend?
And ... what is his swag about as he moves all about?
Begoña Oro es experta en literatura infantil y fomento de la lectura. Su obra ha sido traducida a varias lenguas y ha ganado el Premio Gran Angular, Premio Hache, Finalista del premio El Barco de Vapor y Premio Eurostars Narrativa de Viajes.

Cientos de miles de niños han aprendido a leer con sus personajes: el rey de la noche, doña Despistes, Superleo, la ardilla Rasi (y su pandilla)... Y han querido seguir leyendo sus «Misterios a domicilio» o sus novelas juveniles.
