About the books
A contemporary fable that revives the Latin American oral tradition. The coyote, a symbol of cunning and survival, guides the reader on a journey of transformation in the middle of the desert and the desire to belong.
The story of a child who observes, questions and dreams. Mandino reminds us that childhood is a form of wisdom. A book that accompanies without instructing and that is committed to a free, curious and sensitive childhood.
Commitment beyond literature
All proceeds from book sales during the event will go to organizations that provide water and food to rescued animals.
This gesture underlines the author’s ethical commitment to the care of the most vulnerable beings.
