Showing results for "Health" in Short Stories

Diagnosed as severely autistic at the age of three, Tito, nearly nonverbal, was brought up by his loving mother Soma, who taught him to read English and challenged him to write his own stories. The initial result was The Mind Tree, published in 2003, which Tito wrote between the ages of eight and 11.

En ple confinament, Jofre Llombart es va inventar un conte oral per ajudar els seus fills a relaxar-se i agafar el son. És un relat que recorre les parts del cos humà, cadascuna amb la seva pròpia veu.

El conte va tenir tant d'èxit (emocional i somnífer) que el Jofre Llombart el va enregistrar, va començar a circular per Whatsapp i es va tornar viral.
