It relates us a nice story full of dificulties and it makes us show our respect to human beings.” LETICIA: “ I like the book very much, but sometimes it’s a bit boring. The book can help you to know, to acept and not to treat diferently people because they were born with a mental deficiency. With it I realize that people are very insensitive with other people .
