«Os golfiños e o xigante» is the children's story by Inacio Vilariño Sanmartín, published by Baía Edicións in hardcover (36 pages, in Galician).
The story is based on a real event: the giant Bao Xi Xhun, then the tallest man on the planet, saved two dolphins from an aquarium by removing objects from their esophagus thanks to his long arms. Years later, the aquarium's trainer decides to seek out Bao, who gave up fame to live as a goat herder in his Mongolian village. The journey, told as a road movie, becomes a fable about accepting difference and generosity, with the help of people fascinated by the giant's personality.
It is number 14 in the Barriga Verde collection. Winner of the XII Barriga Verde Prize for puppet theater texts in the children's category.
Recommended for early readers and for working on values such as diversity, empathy and personal growth in the family or classroom.
