This smart and whimsical portrait of the inhabitants of a town reveals the joys of discoveringwhat makes each person unique and extraordinary. Nico lives in a small coastal town, a placelike any other, with ordinary neighbors and friends. But are they really ordinary? As Nicomeanders through his town he introduces readers to his friends. There’s Josean, who works onthe docks and who could be an Olympic rower. Peru recites all different kinds of poetry to hisson. Nico’s best friend, Telmo, is a skateboarder with a wild imagination. Eva plays a mean jazzguitar and gives lessons so she can pay her rent and go to school. There’s Keiko, a potter; Dave,who is really tall; Sara, who owns a bookstore; Claud, a waiter whose real passion is astronomy.Each of these people, twenty-one in all, is depicted in charming, colorful drawings that celebratequirkiness and individuality. This book encourages young readers to get to know the peoplearound them and discover how everyone is different in their own wonderful way.
