«Piruleta» is a children's book by Christine Nöstlinger, published by Santillana Educación, S.L. in paperback (138 pages, in Spanish).
Víctor Manuel is not happy with his name and decides to rename himself Piruleta, after the green lollipops he loves so much. Those sweets hide a singular power: when sucked, they become transparent and allow the boy to see everything he wishes. A children's story about identity, self-acceptance and fantasy.
Christine Nöstlinger (Vienna, 1936-2018) received the Andersen Prize in 1984 for her body of work. This Spanish edition was published in 2004.
Aimed at child and young readers, especially for talking about identity and self-esteem.
Christine Nöstlinger was an Austrian writer best known for children's books.
