Synopsis

Winner at the 2017 International Latino Book Awards

Once upon a time, there was a little boy who loved tennis and soccer, just like so many other children in every corner of the world. He was four years old and he spent the whole day kicking a ball around and glued to a tennis racket.

Thanks to his unassuming personality, from an early age the great tennis player Rafa Nadal discovered what really matters, and the values that would be the guiding principles for his life.
