It's Not So Easy Being a Kid

Fernando Lagos is a happy boy who plays with his friends at recess and does his homework every day, but one morning he gets the terrible news: he has to move to another classroom. The situation becomes even worse when his new classmates start making fun of the size of his ears. Desperate and sad, he begins a long road of learning in which he will find not only valuable lessons for life, but also two wonderful friends: Eduardo and Clara. Fernando discovers that the world is bigger and more complex than he thought, it is full of people who are different from each other, and also, of problems. We will see how he tries to change the tone of the mess in which he finds himself. This story allows us to hear the voices of children who suffer bullying and gives us the opportunity to appreciate the values that can change this situation: tolerance, solidarity and friendship. Fernando and his friends will allow us to take a new look at a problem that, unfortunately, most people are well aware of.
