About the Book

Mi hermano persigue dinosaurios es una historia intimista, tierna y conmovedora, que nos subraya lo maravilloso de la diversidad. Con un tratamiento profundo pero cómico, cariñoso y personal de un tema de interés social como el síndrome de Down. Para escribirla, Giacomo Mazzariol no ha necesitado inventar nada.

Tienes cinco años, dos hermanas y deseas con todas tus fuerzas un hermanito para jugar a cosas de chicos. Un día tus padres te anuncian que tendrás a ese hermano y que será especial. Estás loco de alegría: especial para ti significa «superhéroe».

Tras su nacimiento, poco a poco entiendes que sí, que es distinto a los demás, pero que lo de los superpoderes no acaba de ser verdad. Al final descubres las palabras «síndrome de Down», y tu entusiasmo se transforma en rechazo, incluso en vergüenza. Deberás atravesar la adolescencia para darte cuenta de que tu idea inicial no estaba tan equivocada y dejarte contagiar por la vitalidad de Giovanni hasta concluir que quizá sí es un superhéroe de verdad. Y que, en cualquier caso, es tu mejor amigo. Dentro de cada persona hay un mundo único. Este es el de Giovanni.

«En resumen, esta es la historia de Giovanni.
»Giovanni, que a sus trece años tiene una sonrisa más ancha que sus gafas. Que adora a los dinosaurios y el rojo; que va al cine con una amiga, vuelve a casa y anuncia: Me he casado. Giovanni, que baila en medio de la plaza, solo, al ritmo de la música de un artista callejero, y los transeúntes, uno tras otro, se sueltan y empiezan a imitarlo: Giovanni es un tipo que hace bailar plazas enteras. Giovanni, para quien el tiempo siempre son veinte minutos, nunca más de veinte minutos: si alguien se va de vacaciones durante un mes, se ha ausentado veinte minutos.
»Giovanni, que sabe ser agotador, extenuante, que cada día sale al jardín y les lleva una flor a sus hermanas. Y si es invierno y no encuentra la flor, solo les lleva hojas secas.
»Giovanni es mi hermano. Y esta también es mi historia. Yo tengo diecinueve años, me llamo Giacomo.»

Los libreros opinan:
«Menos es más. Un ángel en mi vida.»
Paula Núñez, Librería Troa Universitaria (Pamplona)

«Inmenso como un dinosaurio, tierno como un bizcocho recién horneado.»
Gemma Fernández, Casa del Libro (Bilbao)ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

My Brother Chases Dinosaurs is a unique story about Down syndrome that has become a literary phenomenon in Italy. A sweet, intimate book that astounds us, moves us, and invites us to reflect. To write it, Giacomo Mazzariol didn't need to make up anything. You are five years old, you have two sisters, and you wish with all your heart for a little brother to play boy games with. One day, your parents announce that you will be getting that brother, and that he will be special. You are crazy with joy: special, for you, means superhero. After his birth, little by little you understand that yes, he is different from others, but the part about the superpowers isn't really true. At last you discover the words Down syndrome, and your enthusiasm turns into rejection, even embarrassment. You must go through adolescence to realize that your original thought wasn't so wrong, and let yourself catch Giovanni's vitality before realizing that maybe he is a superhero after all. And that, in any case, he's your best friend.
About the Author: Giacomo Mazzariol nació en 1997 en Castelfranco Veneto, donde vive con su familia. En marzo de 2015 subió a YouTube un corto, The Simple Interview, grabado junto a su hermano pequeño Giovanni. En este vídeo Giacomo entrevistaba a su hermano de doce años, que tiene síndrome de Down, y en él ponía de manifiesto su maravillosa visión de la vida. El vídeo se hizo viral y tuvo muchísimo eco en la prensa italiana.
