Pepito's Story

This is an incredibly heartwarming and sweet story about a boy who dares to be different and a grandmother who encourages him gently to be himself. My mother read this to me when I was small and I now have it for my children. I can't recommend it enough and the artwork is wonderful.

PEPITO'S STORY

This book stole my heart the first time I read it to my children. It is a beautiful story and even today as I read it I feel the love of Pepito toward his grandmother as she showers him with her warm acceptance. I heard an interview with Mr. Fern's wife on PRN. I was excited to know there was interest in making this sweet story into a musical. Anybody out there happen to hear this interview? I'll stand in line for a ticket.

Outstanding read aloud title for young children!

This story takes place in a Spanish village and is about a boy who loves to dance. His friends make fun of him and only the Mayor's daughter befriends him and appreciates his talent. This book teaches the value of being different and recognizing a persons gift or talent. Children love to hear this story. Recommended by a school media specialist with 10 years of read aloud experience. Enjoy!
