Feliz como una lombriz!, by CK Dexemple

This engaging graphic novel is a colorful story collection of real-life Colombian townspeople: from the muleteers, Catholic priests, firefighters, the ice cream man and even the American tourist! The graphics are akin to their human counterparts: real people with real careers coming together to give us a look into their lives. These people tell their stories through authentic, repetitive and comprehensible Spanish. And La profe shares her unrestrained joy through dance and carefree confidence. Who doesnt want to share that with their Spanish classes?

Felizcomo unalombriz: a relevant social message! This WHOLE story started way before the music video was made in Bochalema, Colombia. That small town showed up with their grandmas and dogs to bring this story alive as they should! (Video available on Spanish Cuentos for members.) The characters and mini stories in this book are the background of a beautiful concept: Joy is contagious!
