«Konrad o el niño que salió de una lata de conservas» is the children's novel by Christine Nöstlinger, published by Santillana Educación, S.L. in paperback.

Raising him her own way, she discovers that affection and acceptance of differences matter more than perfection. Humor, tenderness and social criticism coexist in this story.
