Migue hace un libro
This book tells the story of Migue, who wants to be a footballer when he grows up. But one summer he breaks his leg and can't play. His sister Susi gives him the manual 'How To Make A Book Quickly' and so our hero learns to write stories and make books. 'Migue Makes A Book' is a story with a manual inside it. This second book gives detailed instructions on how to write a story, the content for each page, the text and corresponding illustrations. And then it shows you how to come up with and transform other stories, explaining the structure of these stories to the young reader. Jesús Ortiz, the author of this book, once taught his six-year-old daughter's class how to make a book. The illustrations are by Kike Ibáñez (winner of the 2016 Premio Lazarillo in the picture book category) and the editor Gema Sirvent.
