About this book

Español

Issun Bôshi

Basado en un querido cuento popular japonés, este precioso libro ilustrado narra la historia de una pareja de campesinos sin hijos que desean tener un hijo, aunque sea muy pequeño. Su deseo se cumple con el nacimiento de Issun Bôshi, un niño no más alto que un pulgar. Decidido a conocer el mundo, viaja a la ciudad, donde vive aventuras y enfrenta el peligro, incluido un gigante amenazante. Con astucia más que con tamaño, Issun Bôshi vence a su adversario en esta entrañable historia de valentía e ingenio.
