Superabuelo (Spanish Edition)
by David Schwartz (Author) Bert Dodson (Illustrator)
Gustaf Håkansson tenía sesenta y seis años. En 1951, se le prohibió participar en la Vuelta a Suecia debido a su edad. Participó extraoficialmente, recorriendo en su bicicleta más de 1.000 millas y, para regocijo de sus compatriotas, terminó primero. David Schwartz lo llama Super Grandpa y le da vida a su histórico paseo en bicicleta.
La animada narración de Schwartz, mejorada con efectos de sonido y música de violín sueco. El público mayor también apreciará esta historia de una figura que rompió los estereotipos sobre las personas mayores e inspiró a generaciones a perseguir sus sueños.

Review quotes
"Just as uplifting as the English edition, this charming Spanish version is sure to captivate young bicycle enthusiasts and their grandparents. In a zippy text, Schwartz tells the story of a 66-year-old cyclist who competed in the Tour of Sweden, and to the surprise of the judges, finished first. Soft-toned watercolors showing the eager gentleman en route add tenderness to the story. Even young children will understand Superabuelo." —ALA Booklist
